Repair or replace

Replacing pilings or switching lift types brings the new work under those limits. A like-for-like motor, cable or gearbox repair does not change the structure.

The county permit

Pinellas County code counts a boat lift as part of the dock, so structural lift work also needs a Water and Navigation permit, filed before the city permit.

Why it matters

After Helene

Lifts on the barrier island went under in 2024. Gearboxes and switch boxes that took salt water can fail months later, so open them up during service.
