PALM COAST, FLORIDA

Seawall Inspection Palm Coast

Seawall inspection in Palm Coast is overdue on many lots: a city drone survey of 52 miles of canal seawall flagged about 200 points of interest (City of Palm Coast, 2023).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Palm Coast owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect canal walls.

Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.

Shallow canals

The city’s 26 miles of saltwater canals were dug in the 1960s and 70s to about 8.77 feet. About 13 miles now run under 6 feet at the centerline, which changes the soil at the toe of the walls.

Why it matters

Permitting the fix

Repairs need a City of Palm Coast building permit under LDC Sec. 4.01.06, with the cap at 2.5 feet NAVD88 or matching the neighbors.
