Serving builders, developers, realtors, and landowners across Charlotte, Sarasota, Lee, and Collier counties. Survey, permit, remove - one call handles it all.
We handle the full gopher tortoise compliance process - from initial survey through FWC permit to relocation. Or we can do just the survey for pre-purchase due diligence.
FWC-compliant site surveys that identify burrows and tortoise presence. Required before applying for a relocation permit. Also used for buyer due diligence before closing on vacant land.
Safe, legal gopher tortoise capture and relocation in compliance with FWC requirements. We handle the permit application and move tortoises so your construction project can proceed on schedule.
We guide you through the full FWC relocation permit process - paperwork, site documentation, and coordination with the agency. You focus on your project; we handle the compliance.
From a single buyer doing due diligence to a developer clearing 50 acres - we work with all of them.
Need to break ground on a wooded or rural lot? FWC requires a survey and relocation permit before any clearing. We'll get you through it fast.
