Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Boynton Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the city permit.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

The city still reviews it

Docks along city waterways need a permit from the Boynton Beach Development Department under Sec. 3.O, exempt or not at the state level.

On the Intracoastal

Docks on the Intracoastal and Lake Worth get the same Development Department review, and a repaired dock stays within a quarter of the waterway (Sec. 3.O).
