Surveying in Manatee County
Manatee County sits at the southern end of Tampa Bay, with Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key (shared with Sarasota County) forming barrier island communities where coastal surveys are complicated by beach renourishment projects that alter the mean high water line.
The Manatee River and its tributaries create extensive riverine flood zones through the eastern agricultural portions of the county, where large-parcel cattle ranches and citrus groves are increasingly being converted to residential subdivisions.
Lakewood Ranch, one of the largest master-planned communities in the nation, straddles the Manatee-Sarasota county line, creating complex survey situations where jurisdictional boundaries intersect with massive subdivision platting requirements.
