KEY WEST, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Key West
Dock repair in Key West needs a permit from the building official, and docks need Army Corps or other agency approval (City Code Secs. 118-361 and 122-1186).
We put Key West owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who file both.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Who may tie up
A boat regularly moored at a dock, meaning 8 hours a day for 10 days a month, needs the riparian owner’s consent and must be kept seaworthy (Sec. 122-1186).
Seaplane basin
The seaplane basin is a city mooring field with assigned buoys and a no-anchoring zone (Sec. 82-42).
Why it matters
State review
DEP’s Marathon Branch Office handles environmental resource permits and state submerged lands authorizations for Monroe County, through the DEP Business Portal. Sanctuary rules exempt repairs to docks with fewer than 10 slips done under a valid permit.
