Placement

Canals narrower than 40 feet allow a lift only as a diagonal lift or davits (Sec. 7-358). Lifts count toward the 25% of channel width a dock may use, or 20% in the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve.

Why it matters

Permit and surge

Replacing a lift needs a city permit, with state and federal permits first. Ian put 8 to 12 feet of water above ground across the city in 2022; lifts that sat in it should have their gearboxes, cables and switches checked.

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

What a free inspection includes

A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.

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
