MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA
Boat Lift Installation Merritt Island
Boat lift installation in Merritt Island has to fit the county area limits: 400 square feet of deck, 500 of roof and 600 combined (Brevard County Code Sec. 62-2118).
We put Merritt Island owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who plan lifts to fit.
Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.
Height
A covered dock or lift stops at 20 feet above mean high water.
Sizing
Size the lift to loaded weight with fuel and gear aboard. Canal depth at low tide often limits the boat before lift capacity does.
Why it matters
Approvals
Army Corps permit, then the Brevard County building permit. In the Banana River preserve, state rules add limits on walkway width and platform size.
Docks and lifts stay 7.5 feet from the extended side property line under Sec. 62-2118.
