Certain surveys may require adherence to the nationally recognized ALTA/NSPS standards (American Land Title Association/National Society of Professional Surveyors). These standards are more rigorous and often involve a comprehensive review of the title policy’s Schedule B-II to ensure accurate representation on the survey. Compliance with ALTA standards also entails additional field time, including redundant measurements and optional field locations of specific improvements.

ALTA Standard surveys are primarily utilized in commercial as well as large-scale residential real estate acquisitions, emphasizing their relevance in the context of such transactions.

Subdividing a piece of land multiple times results in the creation of three or more new parcels. According to the regulations outlined in the Florida statutes, forming three or more of these new parcels necessitates the development of a subdivision plat. This platting process involves conducting a boundary survey of the original land parcel, which serves as the foundation for crafting the proposed subdivision plat. Typically, this procedure involves collaborative efforts between a licensed surveyor, a civil engineer, and a land planner.

The land planner is responsible for conceiving a preliminary layout of the upcoming lots, ensuring sufficient space for roads and retention areas for drainage. Meanwhile, the civil engineer is tasked with designing plans for the utilities and drainage systems that will cater to the needs of the newly created lots. It falls upon the licensed surveyor to accurately calculate the boundaries of the new lots, meticulously draw the plat, and then submit it for evaluation by the local governing body.

The precise placement and visual representation of all trees that meet the legal size criteria (measured at Diameter Breast High or DBH), as outlined by the local governing body each tree is symbolized by an icon distinct to its species as indicated on the map, and this icon also indicates the DBH of the individual tree.

Special Surveys encompass a wide range of surveying endeavors conducted for various purposes over time these surveys serve diverse needs, such as , wetland delineations, liquor license permits, positioning communication towers in relation to airport runways, facilitating large-scale event planning, determining monitor well locations, obtaining permits for seawalls and docks, conducting canal cross-sections, supporting community redevelopment programs, overseeing parking lot renovations, aiding in utility and infrastructure planning, investigating mortgage fraud cases, performing traffic analysis, resolving land planning proposal disputes, offering litigation support through expert witness testimony, and addressing an array of other unique requirements.
