Florida County Map Explorer

Florida has 67 counties, ranging from Miami-Dade County (the most populous, with over 2.7 million residents) to Liberty County (the least populous). Each county has its own property appraiser, permit office, and surveying requirements.

Yes. While Florida has statewide Standards of Practice under Chapter 5J-17, Florida Administrative Code (adopted under section 472.027, Florida Statutes), individual counties set their own permit requirements, survey submission formats, setbacks, and flood zone regulations. Confirm the submittal requirements for your permit type with the county building department before filing.

Coastal counties with VE (velocity) flood zones have the highest risk. Monroe County (Florida Keys) has the highest average flood insurance premiums at $1,905/year. Other high-risk coastal counties include Charlotte, Pinellas, Lee, Collier, and Broward. Use our flood zone lookup tool for county-specific FEMA data.

Survey work is quoted per project, and county-level price multipliers are not supportable from the public record. A 2026 review of negotiated rates in Florida city, county, special-district and FDOT contracts found the common assumption reversed: within local-government contracts the South Florida two-person crew rate sits below the Gulf Coast equivalent, so "urban counties cost more" does not hold. What genuinely moves your figure is parcel count, scope, site access, vegetation, travel distance and how much existing corner monumentation survives. Published Florida government contracts for 2024-2026 put a two-person survey crew at $130-$281 per hour and a licensed surveyor at $136-$383 per hour (source: negotiated rates in Florida city, county, special-district and FDOT contracts, 2024-2026) — general market rates, not a quote.
