COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Cocoa Beach
Dock builders in Cocoa Beach set docks back the lesser of 20% of lot width or 15 feet from the side line, unless a neighbor waiver is recorded (LDC 3-28(D)).
We connect Cocoa Beach owners in Cocoa Isles, Snug Harbor, River Isles and the other canal subdivisions with licensed marine contractors who design to it.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Structures and roofs
Boathouses, lifts and shade structures stop at 18 feet NAVD88, with open sides. A walkway projecting 3 feet or less needs only a 5 foot setback.
Why it matters
The City of Cocoa Beach permit
The building permit needs a boundary survey, and in preserve areas the FDEP permit or exemption comes first.
Moored boats may take no more than a third of the canal width.
