JUPITER, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Jupiter
Dock builders in Jupiter keep docks in natural waterways to the lesser of 50 feet from mean high water or 20% of the width (Sec. 27-2626).
We connect Jupiter owners with licensed marine contractors who design to it.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Man-made waters
In canals, docks may project 5 feet or 10% of the width, whichever is greater, and must run parallel to the bulkhead. Half the channel stays open.
Permits
The Town of Jupiter building permit needs a sealed survey under 6 months old showing mean high water, plus the FDEP, Army Corps or SFWMD permit. On the Loxahatchee River, SFWMD approval is required below mean high water.
Why it matters
What the Town does not allow
No covered docks or lifts. Over sea grass, decks sit at least 5 feet above mean high water and terminal platforms stay under 160 square feet.
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
