Surveying in Martin County

Martin County maintains one of the most restrictive growth management plans in Florida, with a development cap that limits building permits. This means survey work focuses heavily on redevelopment, renovations, and high-value custom homes rather than large subdivision plats.

The St. Lucie Inlet provides the only direct ocean access between Fort Pierce and Jupiter, making waterfront properties along the Indian River Lagoon and Manatee Pocket exceptionally valuable. Boundary surveys here require careful mean high water line determinations.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park and other conservation lands occupy significant portions of the county, creating environmental survey requirements and conservation easement documentation needs for any development adjacent to these protected areas.
