Surveying in Taylor County
Taylor County has one of the most extensive and undeveloped Gulf coastlines in Florida, characterized by salt marshes, tidal creeks, and the Big Bend's "Nature Coast." Coastal boundary determinations here involve navigating vast marshlands rather than traditional beach shorelines.
The timber industry is the backbone of Taylor County's economy, with Foley Timber and the Buckeye Cellulose mill historically driving the local economy. Timberland surveys involve large acreages with section-based descriptions and limited improvements.
Hurricane Idalia made landfall near Keaton Beach in Taylor County in August 2023, causing significant storm surge damage to the coastal communities. Post-storm elevation certificates and boundary re-establishment surveys remain in demand.
