Our Organization and Mission :

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is the state's lead agency for environmental management and stewardship - protecting our air, water and land. The vision of DEP is to create strong community partnerships, safeguard Florida's natural resources and enhance its ecosystem.

The Work You Will Do

The Division of State Lands, as Florida's lead agency for environmental management and stewardship, serves as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Governor and Cabinet). As such, the division's role goes far beyond just acquiring lands for protection. It provides oversight for the management of activities on more than 12 million acres of public lands including lakes, rivers and islands. These public lands help ensure all Florida's residents and visitors can truly appreciate the state's unique landscapes.

The Difference You Will Make

In 1855, the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund was created as an agency of the Florida government. In 1841 the U.S. government had granted each state in the union 500,000 acres. Combined with the land received because of the Swamp and Overflowed Lands Act of 1850, the Trustees had more than 21 million acres under its control. Since then, Florida has worked to protect and conserve natural resources.

Land Management and Acquisition Survey

The primary function of this section is to prepare appraisal maps, agenda maps and procure survey products to assist in land acquisition and land disposition. This section contracts with private survey firms to provide surveying services. Other functions include reviewing surveys, sketches and legal descriptions, as well as calculating areas and preparing maps for upland easements affecting state lands, submerged land leases, upland leases and regulatory conservation easements.
