Surveying in Sarasota County
Sarasota County's barrier keys — Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Casey Key, and Lido Key — feature some of the most valuable waterfront real estate on Florida's Gulf Coast. Surveys on these narrow barrier islands require careful attention to Gulf-side erosion, bay-side accretion, and CCCL setback lines.
The county sits over a karst limestone geology with a relatively high water table, meaning foundation surveys and elevation determinations are critical for both flood compliance and structural engineering coordination.
North Port, in eastern Sarasota County, is one of Florida's fastest-growing cities with massive platted subdivisions originally created in the 1960s by General Development Corporation. Surveyors frequently find that original plat dimensions and field conditions do not align, requiring careful boundary re-establishment.
