Surveying in Broward County

Broward County's 31 municipalities each maintain their own permitting processes, meaning surveyors must navigate different requirements from Fort Lauderdale to Pembroke Pines. Municipal survey standards can vary significantly from unincorporated county requirements.

The Intracoastal Waterway bisects the county, creating complex waterfront boundary situations where mean high water lines, bulkhead lines, and riparian rights intersect with platted lot boundaries.

Rapid redevelopment of older neighborhoods — particularly in eastern Broward — means surveyors frequently encounter discrepancies between original 1920s-era plat dimensions and modern GPS measurements.

Drone Mapping & Aerial Surveys Considerations in Coral Springs

Primarily infill development and home renovations in this mature suburban city. New construction focused on remaining vacant parcels.

Planned community lot configurations

Many Coral Springs neighborhoods are planned communities with curved streets, cul-de-sacs, and irregular lot shapes that require more complex boundary calculations than rectangular grid layouts.

Canal-backed properties

Numerous residential properties back up to drainage canals, requiring careful determination of the property line relative to the canal right-of-way and water management district easements.
