Seawall Inspection Deerfield Beach

Seawall inspection in Deerfield Beach catches the problem Sec. 98-87 targets: tidal water flowing through or over a wall onto a neighbor’s lot or the street.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

After a notice

The owner has 60 days to show progress and 365 days to finish. Tidal trespass from a wall below 5 feet is a public nuisance.

Permitting the fix

When the inspection calls for repair, the Broward County license and a City of Deerfield Beach permit both come before work starts.
