Right-of-Way Surveys in Florida
Specialized surveys for roadways, utilities, and infrastructure corridors. Supporting public and private infrastructure projects across Florida.
What Is a Right-of-Way Survey?
Right-of-way surveys define and document the boundaries of linear corridors used for roads, utilities, pipelines, and other infrastructure. These surveys support acquisition, design, and construction of public and private infrastructure projects.
At Apex Surveying & Mapping, we provide comprehensive right-of-way surveying services for transportation departments, utility companies, and private developers. Our work supports corridor planning, easement acquisition, and construction of linear infrastructure.
Right-of-way projects require specialized expertise in corridor surveying, property research for multiple parcels, and coordination with infrastructure design teams. We have extensive experience with both public agency and private utility projects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Right-of-Way Surveys

Typically includes corridor centerline survey, property boundaries of affected parcels, existing easement research, topographic survey, utility location, and preparation of parcel exhibits and legal descriptions.
How much does right-of-way surveying cost?
Costs vary widely based on corridor length, number of affected parcels, and required deliverables. Projects range from $10,000 for short corridors to $100,000+ for major infrastructure projects. We provide detailed quotes after project scoping.
