If you own land that is home to gopher tortoises, you may be legally required to relocate them before any land development, construction, or clearing activities. Gopher tortoises are a protected species in Florida, and disturbing their burrows without proper permits can result in legal fines and project delays.

Yes. Gopher tortoises and their burrows are protected by Florida law. A permit is required before any relocation can occur. We take care of the entire permitting process for you.
Gopher tortoises dig burrows that can be identified by their half-moon-shaped entrance and sandy mound at the opening. Our experts conduct on-site surveys to confirm their presence.
They are moved to FWC-approved recipient sites, where they are monitored and protected in suitable habitats.
The timeline depends on the number of burrows and the permitting process, but we work to ensure a fast and efficient relocation.
