Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Vero Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who lay it out.

Free consultation, a written scope, no obligation.

On the Indian River Lagoon, FDEP and the Army Corps review the lift as part of the dock.

A license or lease is needed over city-owned or private submerged land.

Why it matters

Approvals

FDEP and Army Corps applications go in with the city’s Code Compliance Certification, then the county building permit.

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