FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Fort Pierce
Dock builders in Fort Pierce on the lagoon design to state preserve rules: the dock ends at 4 feet of depth at mean low water and stays 25 feet from riparian lines.
We connect Fort Pierce owners with licensed marine contractors who design to them.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Over seagrass
Where the dock crosses seagrass, it must sit 5 feet above mean high water. Two boats at most.
Approvals
Expect FDEP and Army Corps review for a lagoon dock, plus the City of Fort Pierce building permit. Preserve docks follow Rule 18-20.004 limits.
City code defines dock and moorage facilities in Sec. 125-3 but sets no projection limits of its own, so the state preserve rules govern.
Why it matters
Storm history
Hurricane Jeanne’s 2004 surge was likely up to 6 feet above normal tides from Melbourne south to Fort Pierce (National Hurricane Center).
