ENGLEWOOD, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Englewood
Dock builders in the Charlotte County part of Englewood keep docks on natural water such as Lemon Bay within 25% of the span and at least 15 feet from the centerline or channel edge (Charlotte County Code Sec. 3-9-65).
We connect Englewood owners with licensed marine contractors who design to it.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Canal lots
On manmade canals, the limit is the lesser of 25% of the span or 25 feet from the seawall. Docks at canal ends follow a 45 degree rule, and anything more than 15 feet out needs reflectors and white tops.
Why it matters
Permits
A county building permit is required; when the standards cannot be met, a special exception is the path. The Manasota Key overlay (Sec. 3-9-50) adds its own rules nearby.
