They want to see history on the property in terms of financials, improvements, survey data, code violations, etc. 

I had one of the properties im subdividing surveyed, and it appears there was a carport  encroaching about 3-4 ft on my property.

I have been trying to obtain a permit for a septic system placement by the Duval County health department with the help of my septic contractor for 5 months now without any success.I already spent hundreds of dollars on numerous property surveys, lend measuring, permit requests and more.

Until all the unknowns are known this may well be an achievable price but possibly far more expensive than that which includes alot more variables.Everyone is going to look at it differently, but I consider the per square foot price to include all Planning Costs (engineering, survey, etc), all Prep Costs (land clearing, sediment control, etc) and all Construction Costs (actual build costs).

@Brent Seehusen two things you can do here,1. ask for a survey to either be completed or one that was previously completed.

It found through it's survey's and percentage of homes bought by generation, that the Millennials are some of the best renters in the Cities for the following reasons:1. 

There are times where flood plains are not accurate on the FEMA maps and this survey could uncover that - you can request the FEMA maps be updates using a LOMR or LOMA (I forget which it's called now) and then this become a non-issue.  

Many send out Sales Surveys that I will only return if it is advantageous to meIf the property's assessed value is higher than my purchase price , I will file a protest 

Hmm...wealthy people don't speak what's on their mind (from the survey)...well that leaves me out - lol.
