POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA

Seawall Inspection Pompano Beach

Seawall inspection in Pompano Beach protects more than the wall: if ordered seawall work is not started or finished, the city issues no other building permits for the property (Sec. 151.06).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Pompano Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect walls before that happens.

Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.

What gets a wall cited

A wall that lets tidal water flow onto a neighbor or the street is presumed in disrepair and a public nuisance. The owner then has 60 days to show progress and 365 days to finish.

Why it matters

Neighborhoods on the water

The city’s 2025 vulnerability assessment names Santa Barbara Shores, Harbor Village and Hillsboro Shores on the Intracoastal, and Garden Isles, Snug Harbor and Cypress Bend along Cypress Creek. Over 32% of city buildings sit in a special flood hazard area.

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.
