MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Merritt Island
Dock builders in Merritt Island keep a dock to 20% of the recorded waterway width or 30 feet, whichever is less, measured from the seawall face (Brevard County Code Sec. 62-2118).
We connect Merritt Island owners with licensed marine contractors who design to it.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Area and height
Deck area is capped at 400 square feet and roofed area at 500, with 600 combined. The dock may not sit higher than the seawall, and covered docks stop at 20 feet above mean high water.
Setback
Docks and moored boats stay 7.5 feet from the extended side property line. Boathouses are prohibited in canals.
Why it matters
Order of approvals
Army Corps dock permit first, then a Public Works site plan if there is a drainage easement, then the Brevard County building permit. An as-built survey follows completion.
