Surveying in Levy County
Levy County has an extensive Gulf Coast shoreline that lacks the typical sandy beaches and barrier islands of other Florida coastal counties. Instead, the coast features salt marshes, oyster bars, and tidal creeks, creating complex coastal boundary determinations.
Cedar Key, the county's primary coastal community, is a historic fishing village on a series of small islands where property boundaries are intimately tied to mean high water lines and mangrove shorelines that have shifted over the past century.
The interior of Levy County is dominated by timberland, cattle ranches, and the Goethe State Forest, with large-parcel boundary surveys being the primary survey type in these rural areas.
