Surveying in Osceola County
Osceola County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the country, driven by its proximity to Walt Disney World and the Orlando tourism corridor. The northern portion around Kissimmee and St. Cloud sees massive residential subdivision development, generating enormous demand for platting and construction surveys.
The southern two-thirds of the county is dominated by vast cattle ranches and the Deseret Ranch (one of the largest cattle operations in the U.S.), where large-parcel boundary surveys span thousands of acres of flat prairie and wetland terrain.
East Lake Tohopekaliga and the Kissimmee River chain of lakes create extensive lakefront boundary situations where ordinary high water line determinations are critical. The Kissimmee River restoration project has also altered historical water levels and drainage patterns.
As-Built Surveys Considerations in Kissimmee
Tourism corridor commercial development. Southern residential growth toward Poinciana, an unincorporated community spanning Osceola and Polk counties that is permitted by those counties, not the City of Kissimmee.
Tourism corridor zoning
Kissimmee's proximity to Walt Disney World creates complex commercial zoning along US-192 with overlapping municipal and county jurisdiction that affects survey requirements.
Lake Tohopekaliga waterfront
Properties bordering Lake Tohopekaliga require careful determination of the ordinary high water line and consideration of lake level fluctuation for setback surveys.

Pricing
As-Built Surveys Pricing in Kissimmee
What the work costs in Florida, and why your figure has to be quoted.
Florida market rate for survey work
Source: negotiated rates in Florida city, county, special-district and FDOT contracts, 2024–2026. These are market rates for professional time — not a quote for your project, and not Apex's rate card.
Why we quote instead of listing a price
What a survey costs is set by the work it takes — boundary research, fieldwork, recovering or establishing the applicable property corners, marking the accessible corners, and preparing a signed and sealed survey. Your figure will vary with the number of parcels, scope, location, access, vegetation, travel, and existing monumentation.
Two properties on the same Kissimmee street can price differently — one with intact corner markers, one where every corner has to be re-established.
