NOKOMIS, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Nokomis
Dock builders in Nokomis plan around frontage: a lot with less than 65 feet of shoreline gets one vessel and a centered dock no wider than half the frontage (County Code Sec. 54-656).
We connect Nokomis owners with licensed marine contractors who design to WANCA’s rules.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Distance from channels
Docks stay at least 25 feet from a channel centerline and 100 feet from the Intracoastal Waterway channel edge unless the Corps approves otherwise. A dock that reaches past its neighbors needs safety lighting.
Why it matters
Size
One dock per single-family lot for up to two vessels, not counting personal watercraft or kayaks. Marginal docks top out at 250 square feet. Five or more slips need a major permit with a public hearing.
