Floating lifts

Florida Statute 403.813(1)(s) exempts floating vessel platforms and floating lifts up to 500 square feet combined from state permits, and limits how strictly local governments can regulate them.

Check the wall first

Older Hollywood code set bulkhead lines at 2.0 feet above mean sea level in previously undeveloped areas. Today’s standard is 5 feet NAVD88, so check the wall’s height before the lift goes in.

Why it matters

Fixed lifts

A fixed lift needs the Broward County license and a city building permit. On North and South Lake, the City Engineering Department reviews dock work first.

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

What a free inspection includes

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
