Surveying in Walton County
Walton County's 30A corridor — featuring communities like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and WaterColor — has become one of the most expensive real estate markets in the Florida Panhandle. High-value waterfront surveys here require precision boundary and elevation work.
The county features some of the most dramatic topographic relief in Florida, with the Choctawhatchee Bay, coastal dune lakes (rare worldwide), and steep sand bluffs along the Gulf shore. These unique dune lakes require specialized boundary and environmental surveys.
DeFuniak Springs, the county seat, features a nearly perfectly round spring-fed lake that served as the focus of the historic Florida Chautauqua community. The historic district presents unique surveying challenges with 19th-century plat references.
