PALMETTO BAY, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Palmetto Bay
Dock repair in Palmetto Bay that re-decks the dock at its original size is exempt from Miami-Dade DERM’s Class I permit.
We put Village owners in touch with licensed marine contractors for the work that is not.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
DERM fees
For a $5,000 to $9,999 project, DERM’s short form runs a $470 application fee plus a $375 permit fee, with a 7.5% surcharge.
County code
Miami-Dade Code Sec. 24-48.2 keeps docks within 25% of the waterway for the short form. Palmetto Bay applies the county limits.
Short-form permits are valid for two years.
Why it matters
Village permit
The Village building permit follows DERM’s approval. Its zoning code has no separate dock limits, so the county’s apply.
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
