Dock Repair Panama City
Dock repair in Panama City is off the table on one stretch: no pier, wharf or dock may be built or repaired on St. Andrews Bay along Beach Drive between the Johnson Bayou Bridge and Frankford Avenue (City Code Sec. 5-1).
We put Panama City owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle repairs everywhere else.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Permits
Residential docks need a city development order and permits from all other agencies, with a stamped and sealed survey showing riparian setbacks (LDC Sec. 110-4).

Why it matters
Rebuild limits
No enclosed buildings on the dock, no dredging except for pilings, and the access walk stays within 5 feet wide. Michael put 4 to 6 feet of water above ground around St. Andrew Bay in 2018, so check pilings and connections on any dock that went under.
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
