Permits

Structural lift work goes through the City of Jacksonville’s JaxEPICS portal. Floating lifts up to 500 square feet with any platform are exempt from state permits.

Why it matters

Brackish and fresh

Lifts upriver sit in fresher water than those near Mayport. Corrosion and growth differ, so ask the contractor what they see on your reach.

Matthew set records on the St. Johns River in 2016 and Irma reached 5.3 feet at the I-295 bridge in 2017, so lifts along the river have seen high water twice in two years.

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
