Placement on the lot

Docks and lifts go in the center third of the frontage, or 50 feet from the neighboring property, whichever is less restrictive. The Director of Planning can waive this with neighbor no-objection letters.

Why it matters

St. Joseph Sound

Dunedin fronts St. Joseph Sound, an Outstanding Florida Water. Docks on open sound frontage need bracing for wind-driven chop that canal docks never see.

These limits cover docks in waters of the county off Dunedin’s shoreline, and the permit starts with the city before county review.
