Free inspection and a written scope.

Keeping it safe

Owners must keep docks and their equipment in good and safe condition, and an unsafe dock gets 30 days after certified notice to be fixed (Sec. 8-253). Permits go to the county building division with engineered plans.

Seawall-mounted lifts

Where a lift bolts to a seawall, the wall itself must stay sound: county code treats a failed or shifted wall as a public nuisance (Sec. 7-141).

Why it matters

After Helene

Helene put water 8.84 feet above mean higher high water at a USGS sensor on Pine Island in Hernando County. Lifts that went under should have their motors, switches and cables checked even if they still run.
