ANNA MARIA, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Anna Maria
Dock repair in Anna Maria protects existing docks: a dock legally standing on September 7, 2023 keeps its footprint for repairs (City Code Sec. 110-96, Ord. 23-916).
We put Anna Maria owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the building permit.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
New dock limits
New docks extend no more than 5 feet from the seawall and run up to 20 feet or 40% of frontage, whichever is greater. Mooring pilings go no farther than 35 feet out, and everything stays 20 feet from the waterway centerline.
Why it matters
Permits
Any dock, piling, lift or davit needs a building permit from the building official, conditioned on all federal, state and county permits. Boathouses and covered docks are prohibited, and nothing may extend into the Gulf of Mexico or Tampa Bay.
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
