Surveying in Brevard County

Brevard County stretches 72 miles along the Atlantic Coast, giving it one of the longest shorelines of any Florida county. The barrier island geography creates complex boundary situations between mainland, Indian River Lagoon, and oceanfront properties.

Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station occupy a significant portion of northern Brevard, creating restricted airspace zones that can impact drone-based surveying and UAS operations in the region.

The Indian River Lagoon system bisects the county, meaning many surveys involve waterfront determinations along both the lagoon and the Atlantic, with tidal vs. non-tidal boundary distinctions depending on the water body.
