FORT MYERS, FLORIDA
Boat Lift Installation Fort Myers
Boat lift installation in Fort Myers counts the mooring area toward the 25% of waterway width any structure may take (LDC Sec. 132.1.4).
We put Fort Myers owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who place lifts within it.
Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.
Roofs
A roof over the lift is allowed only with all sides open and the dock in the center third of the frontage.
Why it matters
Approvals
State and federal permits, the City of Fort Myers permit and bottom owner consent. A floating lift up to 500 square feet with any platform is state exempt.
Davits stay under 8 feet tall and within 48 inches of the seawall top, in the center third of the frontage (LDC Sec. 118.3.4). Docks themselves sit no more than 3 feet above the top of the seawall.
What a free inspection includes
A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.
You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
- Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
- Written estimate with scope and materials
- Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
