PALMETTO BAY, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair Palmetto Bay
Seawall repair in Palmetto Bay on Biscayne Bay runs through Miami-Dade DERM’s Class I permit and the state’s aquatic preserve rules.
We connect Village owners with licensed marine contractors who work the bay shoreline.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Rip-rap required
In the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, a new, replaced or moved seawall needs Board of Trustees approval, given only with rip-rap (Florida Statute 258.397).
Permit order
DERM’s Class I permit comes first, then the Village of Palmetto Bay building permit. The short form covers walls up to 18 inches waterward.

Why it matters
No Village height rule
Palmetto Bay’s zoning code sets no seawall elevation. Ask the engineer what height the county is applying to your lot.
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
