Dock Repair Nokomis
Dock repair in Nokomis takes a WANCA general permit when the dock is rebuilt at the same size, shape and location, provided it was WANCA-permitted or built before 1985 (County Code Ch. 54, Art. XX).
We put Nokomis owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the county permit.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Over seagrass
Decks over seagrass sit at least 5 feet above the mean high water line, with planks no wider than 8 inches and half-inch gaps. Boats need 1 foot of clearance at mean low water over the bottom, or none in a manmade canal without seagrass (Sec. 54-656).

Why it matters
Exempt work
Redecking, handrails, stringers, benches and hardware replacement need no WANCA permit. State and federal permits are separate.
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
