Concrete seawall cap along a Hillsboro Beach waterway

HILLSBORO BEACH, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair Hillsboro Beach

Seawall repair in Hillsboro Beach has an extra Town rule: new walls must be designed so the cap can be raised at least 24 more inches later (Sec. 12-268).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect Town owners on the Intracoastal with licensed marine contractors who engineer for it.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

5 feet, no interim

New walls start at 5.0 feet NAVD88, with no 4 foot step. The building permit needs engineering drawings and calculations showing the wall can take the 24 inch raise.

Town and county permits

The Town of Hillsboro Beach issues the building permit for the wall. Work in the water needs the Broward County license first, and its general license covers repair up to 1 foot waterward of the old face.

Why it matters

The maximum

Where the base flood elevation is above 5 feet, the wall may reach it. Where it equals 5 feet, the cap may go to 7 feet NAVD88.
