Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Deerfield Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who plan lifts to city code.

Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.

Setbacks

A single lift on a narrower lot sits 10 feet from the side line. On wider lots with two lifts, the setback is 25 feet.

Approvals

A new lift needs the Broward County license and a City of Deerfield Beach permit. On the Intracoastal, the Army Corps also has a say in how far structures reach.

Why it matters

The Hillsboro River and the Intracoastal

On the Intracoastal, the 30 foot cap can bind before the 25% rule does. Measure the waterway at your lot before choosing a lift.

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