Dock Repair Jacksonville
Dock repair in Jacksonville is filed online through the City of Jacksonville JaxEPICS system, which takes all permit types.
We put Jacksonville owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the filing.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Often state exempt
A private dock up to 1,000 square feet over water, on pilings or floating, is exempt from a state permit under Florida Statute 403.813(1)(b), or 500 square feet in Outstanding Florida Waters.
Why it matters
The marshes
North of the city, the Nassau River-St. Johns River Marshes Aquatic Preserve covers 69,000 acres. Docks there follow the stricter preserve rules: a 4 foot walkway and a 160 square foot platform.
Jacksonville’s manatee protection zones name the waterways where slow speeds apply around docks, from the Trout River and Broward River to Pottsburg Creek and the Cedar River (Sec. 387.103).
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
