PALMETTO BAY, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Palmetto Bay
Dock builders in Palmetto Bay design to Miami-Dade’s limits, since the Village zoning code sets none of its own: single-family docks within 25% of the waterway stay on DERM’s short form.
We connect Village owners with licensed marine contractors who design for the bay.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Bay bottom
A dock over state-owned bay bottom needs a letter of consent, which DERM can grant for FDEP when the dock meets set standards.
Village permit
The Village of Palmetto Bay building permit follows DERM’s approval and the state letter of consent for bay bottom.
Why it matters
In the preserve
Docks are allowed in the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, but dredging or filling for one needs a water quality finding.
