Surveying in Volusia County
Volusia County features a unique beach driving tradition on Daytona Beach, where the hard-packed sand serves as a public road. Surveys along the beachfront must account for both the Coastal Construction Control Line and the public beach access easements that are distinct from other Florida coastal counties.
The Halifax River (Intracoastal Waterway) and the St. Johns River define much of the county's eastern and western boundaries respectively, creating extensive riparian survey situations with differing tidal and non-tidal boundary frameworks.
Volusia's western interior is characterized by the DeLand Ridge and spring-fed rivers like Blue Spring and DeLeon Springs, where karst geology and spring protection zones add environmental survey requirements for development near these sensitive areas.
