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.

Beachfront redevelopment zone
The Atlantic Boulevard oceanfront area is undergoing major redevelopment, with old motels being replaced by luxury towers. Existing survey records may not reflect current conditions.

What the work costs in Florida, and why your figure has to be quoted.
Florida market rate for survey work
Source: negotiated rates in Florida city, county, special-district and FDOT contracts, 2024–2026. These are market rates for professional time — not a quote for your project, and not Apex's rate card.
Why we quote instead of listing a price
What a survey costs is set by the work it takes — boundary research, fieldwork, recovering or establishing the applicable property corners, marking the accessible corners, and preparing a signed and sealed survey. Your figure will vary with the number of parcels, scope, location, access, vegetation, travel, and existing monumentation.
Two properties on the same Pompano Beach street can price differently — one with intact corner markers, one where every corner has to be re-established.
