Dock Repair Palm City
Dock repair in Palm City needs drawings to the Florida Building Code and a Martin County permit issued only after state and federal approval (Code Sec. 21.252).
We put Palm City owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle both.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Bessey Creek and the C-23
The C-23 canal enters the estuary near Bessey Creek in Palm City (SFWMD). Docks near the outfall see freshwater pulses after heavy rain.
County checklist
Martin County wants an FDEP permit or exemption with the application, and bases its own approval on it.

Why it matters
State exemption
Repairing or replacing a dock in the same spot is often exempt from a state permit, but outside the preserve FDEP’s online self-certification is the usual proof.
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
