Why it matters

Lake Tarpon docks

If your property is on Lake Tarpon, the dock may reach no more than 100 feet from the ordinary high water line, with one private dock per property (Sec. 58-546).

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
