HOLMES BEACH, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair Holmes Beach
Seawall repair in Holmes Beach allows a wall up to 6 feet NAVD88 including the cap, with a replacement no more than 18 inches in front of the original (City Code Ch. 66, Art. IV, Ord. 25-03).
We connect Holmes Beach owners on the Key Royale canals, Watson’s Bayou and other city canals with licensed marine contractors who build to it.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Plans and review
Plans are prepared by a Florida engineer to the Florida Building Code and the Corps Coastal Engineering Manual, and the city may hire its own reviewing engineer at the applicant’s cost. A wall higher than the neighbor’s needs a return and a drainage plan.
Why it matters
Disrepair is citable
A wall is presumed in disrepair if there is upland erosion, structural defects or tidal flow through it, and failure to maintain is a citable offense (Sec. 66-106). New walls are allowed only next to an existing seawall or in artificial waterbodies at least 50% walled.
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
