1Per curiam
We affirm. A suit for declaratory relief does not itself constitute a cause of action for venue purposes, it is the underlying relief sought which determines venue. Oliver v. Severance, 542 So.2d 408 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989). It was proper to transfer venue to Polk County since that is where the underlying cause of action occurred. § 47.011, Fla.Stat. (1989).
SCHOONOVER, C.J., and SCHEB and HALL, JJ., concur.
