NORTH FORT MYERS, FLORIDA
Dock Repair North Fort Myers
Dock repair in North Fort Myers needs a Lee County permit to replace a structure, though minor repairs may be exempt (LDC Sec. 26-45).
We put North Fort Myers owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who file through ePlan.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Depth and length
Docks need 3 feet of water at mean low water and reach no more than 200 feet or 25% of the channel (Sec. 26-71).
Why it matters
Setbacks
On natural water, docks keep 25 feet from side lines on lots with 65 feet or more of frontage, and lifts and pilings keep 10 feet.
Lee County approval does not replace state or federal permits. Replacing a dock within 5 feet of its old spot, no larger and with no fill, is exempt from a state permit.
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
