When do I need a residential land survey in Florida?

You need a residential land survey in Florida when buying or selling a home, building a new structure or addition, installing a fence or pool, resolving a property line dispute with a neighbor, refinancing your mortgage, or applying for building permits. Lee County and the City of Cape Coral typically require a current survey before issuing construction permits.

What is the difference between a boundary survey and a lot survey?

A boundary survey establishes the precise legal boundaries of your property by locating property corners and marking boundary lines based on the recorded deed and plat. A lot survey is a broader term that may include boundary determination plus additional details such as building setback lines, easements, and the location of existing structures relative to property lines. In practice, the terms are often used interchangeably for residential properties in Southwest Florida.

How long does a residential survey take in Southwest Florida?

A residential survey in the Cape Coral and Fort Myers area typically takes 1 to 2 weeks from scheduling to delivery. Field work usually requires a few hours on-site, followed by office research and map preparation. Turnaround time depends on current workload, property complexity, and whether additional title research is needed. Rush services are available for time-sensitive real estate closings.

Do I need a new survey if my property was surveyed years ago?

While there is no expiration date on a survey in Florida, lenders and title companies often require a survey completed within the past few years. Changes to the property since the last survey, such as new fences, additions, or neighboring construction, may not be reflected on an older survey. A new survey ensures current conditions are accurately documented and can reveal encroachments or boundary issues that developed over time.

What Is a Residential Survey?

A residential survey assures boundary lines and shows the legal description of a property. Such surveys also determine other risks and restrictions, such as easements, that come with a property.
