Fixed lifts and the dock code

Building, repairing or removing a fixed boat lift takes a city permit (Sec. 69-51). Davits and lifts follow the same side setbacks as docks, so a relocated lift has to meet them.

Floating lifts and floating vessel platforms that qualify under Florida Statute 403.813(1)(s) are exempt (Sec. 69-55).

The city coordinates fixed-lift permits with Pinellas County Water and Navigation, so allow time for both reviews on Boca Ciega Bay frontage.

Why it matters

After a barrier island flood

Motors, gearboxes and switch boxes that went under in 2024 can fail months later. A service that opens the gearbox and checks the cables costs less than a dropped boat.
