JUPITER, FLORIDA

Dock Repair Jupiter

Dock repair in Jupiter needs a building permit even for re-decking part of the dock (Sec. 27-2626).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Jupiter owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the permit.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

What goes with the application

A sealed survey no more than 6 months old showing mean high water and riparian rights, and a copy of the FDEP, Army Corps or SFWMD permit.

On the Loxahatchee and the Intracoastal

Repairs below mean high water on the Loxahatchee River or the Intracoastal need SFWMD approval before the Town of Jupiter permit.

Why it matters

Keeping the layout

One dock per lot in R-1 and R-2 zones, with up to two mooring spaces. A repair that adds a slip has to fit.

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

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
