NORTH MIAMI, FLORIDA
Dock Repair North Miami
Dock repair in North Miami needs Miami-Dade DERM’s Class I permit, with the owner’s written consent and an engineer’s certification letter.
We put North Miami owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who file it.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
State exemption
Florida Statute 403.813(1)(b) exempts one private dock per 65 feet of shoreline up to 1,000 square feet over water from a state permit. DERM and the city still review it.
City permit
The City of North Miami issues its building permit after DERM. Docks in Keystone Point and Sans Souci canals follow the same order.
Why it matters
County width limit
County code expects marine structures to reach no more than 25% of the waterway width (Sec. 24-48.2).
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
