Why Fernandina Beach Properties Need Permit Services

Nassau County Soil & Drainage Profile
Nassau County features poorly drained flatwoods Spodosols on the mainland with well-drained dune sands on Amelia Island. The transitional zone in Yulee between the island and inland areas has mixed drainage characteristics.
Nassau County's growth is concentrated in the Yulee corridor between I-95 and Amelia Island, where rural ranchland and timber tracts are being converted to residential subdivisions. This corridor sits on poorly drained flatwoods soils that require comprehensive stormwater engineering for every new development — the type of rapid land use conversion that creates the most dramatic changes in drainage patterns.
