Concrete seawall cap along a New Port Richey waterway

NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair New Port Richey

Seawall repair in New Port Richey along the Pithlachascotee River depends on who owns the wall: docks attached to city-owned seawall must be floating, with no davits, lifts or utilities on the wall (City Code Sec. 5-44).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect New Port Richey owners with licensed marine contractors who know the city’s dock and river rules.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Docks on a seawall

On the river, a deck may sit no more than 2 feet above an established seawall, or 3 feet above mean high water where there is no wall (Sec. 5-46). Docks attached to city seawall may be repaired unless 50% or more is replaced; past that, the owner has 90 days to comply or remove.

Pilings

Pilings stop at 10 feet above mean high water with at least 6 feet of penetration, and bents sit no more than 12 feet on center (Sec. 5-52).

Why it matters

State and federal first

The city issues no dock permit until each state or federal agency confirms a permit was issued or none is needed (Sec. 5-49). Helene’s water reached 7.60 feet above mean higher high water at a Pasco County sensor in 2024 (National Hurricane Center).

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.
