Surveying in Miami-Dade County

Miami-Dade's original surveys date to the 1890s township system, with many corners referencing now-obliterated Spanish land grant boundaries. Corner recovery often requires extensive historical research through multiple recording systems.

The county's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) designation imposes the strictest wind load requirements in Florida, frequently requiring surveyors to coordinate with structural engineers on elevation and setback documentation.

With over 870,000 parcels spanning from dense urban Brickell to agricultural Homestead, survey complexity varies dramatically — from 5,000 sq ft city lots to 640-acre farm sections.

Subdivision Platting Considerations in Hialeah

Ongoing residential and mixed-use development along major corridors. Four-story apartment buildings recently approved in the city center area.

Dense urban grid

Hialeah's compact lot sizes and dense residential grid make boundary surveys challenging, with many properties having zero-lot-line or minimal setback conditions.

Jurisdictional boundaries

Properties near Hialeah's borders with Miami Lakes, Miami Springs, and Hialeah Gardens require careful verification of which municipality controls permitting.
