So I get a call the other day to quote a ~40 acre job about an hour and a half from me. After I look it over and get everything worked up and the quote comes out to $24,000. Mind you this property has a 1000' elevation difference from front to back,?ÿ is heavily wooded and I figure its going to take me three weeks to do everything since I work solo. I call the client back and he about has a stroke at the price. He then calls me back to make sure that he heard me right and that I had not said $2400. He was apparently expecting the cost to be between $2500 and $3000. I told him that if he found someone to survey that property for that price that he needed to run since that survey is being done on a bar stool. I guess surveys are cheap in Fort Meyers, FL where he is from.
But my realtor told me... (or someone at the Planning Department, bartender or some other expert in what things should cost)
You can bet there isn't 1000' difference in elevation around there.

Fort Meyers, FL where he is from.
And practically flat, as is most of Florida. If he finds a Surveyor that will survey 40ac in FL for $3k, well, I'll just shut up here and wish him good luck...rather than be subjected to litigation from whomever he employes.

I didn't think there was 1000' vertical in all of FL (isn't the highest point some man-made thing in Disney @ about 200'?)

In Florida no, in the mountains of NC yes.
Florida is flat.?ÿ To get a 1000' elevation difference would require going to a depth of 655 feet BELOW sea level.
