Surveying in Nassau County
Nassau County is Florida's northeasternmost county, with Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach serving as the primary coastal community. The island's historic district features properties with legal descriptions dating to the original Spanish and British colonial periods.
The county's extensive salt marshes along the Amelia River and Nassau Sound create complex tidal boundary situations where mean high water determinations must account for significant tidal ranges — among the highest on Florida's Atlantic Coast.
Rapid residential growth in the Yulee and Callahan areas, driven by Jacksonville's suburban expansion, is converting timberland and agricultural properties into subdivisions, creating demand for platting surveys on large-parcel conversions.
