A land survey in El Portal provides accurate boundary and elevation data for real estate transactions, new construction, and FEMA flood compliance. As a historic residential community near Miami Shores and Biscayne Boulevard, El Portal has unique zoning regulations and older property layouts. A professional survey ensures you meet Miami-Dade County permitting requirements, avoid boundary disputes, and address potential drainage or easement issues before you build, sell, or buy property.

Our licensed El Portal land surveyors provide a complete range of surveying services, including:

• Boundary Surveys – verify property lines for fences, landscaping, or real estate closings.

• ALTA/NSPS Surveys – essential for commercial properties and title insurance.

• Topographic Surveys – for engineering, drainage, or development planning.

• FEMA Flood Elevation Certificates – required for flood insurance and compliance with FEMA guidelines.

Each survey follows Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers standards and is fully accepted by Miami-Dade County and FEMA.

A Flood Elevation Certificate (EC) measures how your property’s elevation compares to FEMA’s Base Flood Elevation (BFE). Many properties in El Portal, especially near NW 2nd Avenue, NW 3rd Street, and canal-adjacent lots, may be located in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). If you’re buying, selling, building, or applying for flood insurance, a certified Elevation Certificate prepared by a licensed surveyor is often required.

Most residential boundary surveys in El Portal are completed within 3–5 business days, depending on property size and complexity. ALTA and topographic surveys may take longer, but we always communicate clear timelines to help you keep your project on schedule.
