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.
