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.
