Surveying in Collier County

Collier County is Florida's largest county by land area, with the vast majority of land undevelopable due to Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades, and other conservation lands. Development is concentrated in a narrow coastal corridor around Naples and Marco Island.

The county's strict growth management regulations, including the Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA) program, require specialized environmental surveys for any development in eastern Collier, including wildlife corridor assessments and habitat mapping.

Naples and Marco Island represent some of Florida's highest-value real estate markets, where boundary surveys for waterfront estates often involve complex mangrove shoreline determinations and mean high water calculations along the Gulf of Mexico.
