Boundary & Property Line Services

Below is a detailed overview of the services we offer:

Statutory Boundary Line Agreements (Preferred Method)

A Statutory Boundary Line Agreement (SBLA) is a legal process where two property owners mutually agree to adjust a property line to resolve encroachment issues or clarify boundaries.

  • Requires a lawyer to facilitate the agreement
  • A Subdivision Guarantee (separate fee) is needed
  • County charges a reworking fee
  • Reduces potential disputes and ensures clear property ownership

We can help you through this process, working with your attorney to ensure a smooth and legally sound boundary adjustment.

Boundary Line Adjustments

If you need to modify a property boundary, a Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) must be approved by the county and follow strict legal and zoning regulations.

  • County approval is required
  • Strict guidelines must be followed
  • Additional county fees apply

Boundary adjustments are useful for resolving property disputes, increasing land usability, or correcting legal descriptions. We will help you navigate the process from start to finish.

Subdivision & Development Surveys

Subdivisions & Short Plats

If you want to create new parcels of land, you will need to go through a short plat or large lot subdivision process, which must be approved by the county.

  • Requires an initial pre-submission meeting
  • County will identify potential conflicts
  • Approval can take 6-18 months, depending on the complexity of the project

We will assist you throughout the entire subdivision process, from initial planning to final approval.

Note: Some plats may have homeowner associations or maintenance companies that requires additional steps for approval.

Comprehensive Land Surveying Services

Boundary Surveys

Boundary surveys establish or re-establish property lines, identifying corner monuments and line points on the ground.

  • Essential for new construction, fencing, and property disputes
  • Helps determine setbacks and avoid legal issues
  • Ensures your project stays within property limits

Knowing your exact boundary lines before starting a project can prevent costly mistakes and legal complications.

Elevation Certificates & Flood Zone Mapping

With recent flood studies indicating a rise in coastal waters, the county requires new construction to be built at least one foot above the base flood elevation—though we recommend two to three feet for added safety.

  • Required for flood insurance and building permits
  • Helps determine safe construction elevation
  • Can reduce flood insurance costs

If you are in a flood-prone area, we can help assess your risk and provide necessary elevation documentation.

Topographic Surveys & Site Plans

We use state-of-the-art robotic total stations to collect precise data on your land.

  • Captures detailed terrain features, buildings, and site characteristics
  • Produces highly accurate 2D drawings
  • Data can be provided in PDF, CAD (DWG), or printed copies

These surveys are essential for development planning, engineering, and construction projects.

Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA)

FEMA flood studies often generalize large areas, placing properties in flood zones that may not actually be at risk. If your property is above the base flood elevation, you may qualify for a LOMA to remove your land from a designated flood zone.

  • Can reduce flood insurance requirements
  • Provides proof that your land is not at risk
  • Helps with property value and resale potential

We can assess your property and guide you through the LOMA application process.
