Boundary Surveys in Florida
A boundary survey establishes the precise location of a Florida property's boundaries by a licensed professional surveyor, identifying corners, dimensions, area, and any discrepancies with the legal description.
Purpose and Uses
Florida boundary surveys are essential for real estate closings, construction planning (ensuring setback compliance), boundary dispute resolution, subdivision applications, and encroachment identification. Lenders and title companies typically require current surveys before issuing loans or title insurance.
Professional Standards
Florida boundary surveys must be performed by a professional surveyor and mapper licensed under Chapter 472. The surveyor examines recorded plats, deeds, and prior surveys, locates physical monuments, and applies surveying standards to establish the boundary. The resulting survey is a legal document relied upon by courts, title companies, and governmental agencies.
