Protected Species Assessment

Florida’s Expert Protected Species Assessments

Our Protected Species Assessments (PSA) provide the insights you need to stay compliant with city, county, and state environmental guidelines. We deliver boots-on-the-ground surveys and detailed reports to identify potential environmental issues on your property. With us, you’ll know exactly what to address to keep your project moving forward without unexpected delays.

What is a PSA?

A Protected Species Assessment in Florida involves a thorough inspection of your property to identify environmental risks—whether it’s protected wildlife, wetlands, or other environmental and ecological sensitivities.

 

Our process includes:

  • On-Site Surveys: We search for signs of protected species and environmentally sensitive areas.
  • Review of Online Data: We use all available resources to uncover pre-existing environmental records.
  • FLUCCS Mapping: We provide a Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) analysis to help you better understand your property.
How Long Does a Protected Species Assessment Take?

We know that timely results are critical to your project’s success. That’s why our PSAs are completed within 5 business days. With our fast turnaround, you’ll have the information you need to address any environmental concerns before they cause delays.

When Do You Need a Protected Species Assessment?

A PSA helps you stay ahead of the permitting process by identifying potential environmental challenges early. It can also be requested if permit guidelines require it or if your application is placed on hold during review. Some of the issues we address include:

  • Gopher Tortoises
  • Burrowing Owls
  • Wetland Impacts
  • Protected Trees
  • And More!

 

By identifying issues early, we help you develop a mitigation plan that keeps your project on track and avoids surprises during the permit process.
