LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Dock builders in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea design to some of the shortest limits in Broward: 10% of canal width or 8 feet, whichever is less, on waterways 100 feet wide or less (Sec. 30-311).
We connect Town owners with licensed marine contractors who build within them.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Canal lots
Finger piers can reach 10% of the width or 20 feet, with 25 feet between them. Everything stays at least 5 feet off the extended side property line, and the deck may not sit higher than the seawall.
Boathouses are prohibited.
Permit order
Broward County permits come first, then the Town building permit, plus Army Corps approval where it applies (Sec. 30-311(b)).
Why it matters
Intracoastal lots
On waterways wider than 100 feet, a dock may reach 15 feet. Dolphin piles can go out to the edge of the navigation channel but not into it.
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
