BOCA RATON, FLORIDA

Seawall Inspection Boca Raton

Seawall inspection in Boca Raton is cheaper than enforcement: Sec. 22-35 makes it unlawful to let a seawall deteriorate until it endangers neighbors or navigation.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Boca Raton owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect walls on Lake Boca Raton, the Intracoastal and the canals.

Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.

What enforcement looks like

Code compliance refers violations to the special magistrate, whose order sets the timeline. The city may also do the work itself and charge the owner.

Why it matters

King tides on Lake Boca Raton

During the 2015 king tides, Lake Boca Raton crested over the seawall in Por La Mar (The Coastal Star). On Lake Boca Raton, the code measures the minimum bulkhead height as 5.00 feet above mean low water (Sec. 22-33).

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.
