Wooden docks and pilings in front of canal-front homes in Dunedin at dusk

DUNEDIN, FLORIDA

Dock Repair Dunedin

Dock repair in Dunedin is permitted by the city first, then released to Pinellas County Water and Navigation.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Dunedin owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle both reviews.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

When the city signs off quickly

A single-family dock that fits the county placement rules is approved administratively under Sec. 103-23.3.6.3. When neighbor consent cannot be obtained, the request goes to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.

Where the dock meets the wall

If the repair touches the seawall at the dock landing, that part of the job falls under the city seawall code, Sec. 105-41.14.1, and needs approval of its own.

Ask for both pieces in one written scope so the work is done once.

Why it matters

Every waterway is one zoning district

All docks in the city sit in the MP zoning district, which covers every navigable waterway in Dunedin. The rules do not change from canal to sound.

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

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
