FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Fort Walton Beach
Dock builders in Fort Walton Beach design new docks, piers and boathouses to FDEP and Army Corps rules, without channeling stormwater into wetlands or the water (Fort Walton Beach LDC Sec. 5.01.15).
We connect Fort Walton Beach owners with licensed marine contractors who design to them.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Bass Lake limits
Docks on Bass Lake are capped at 20 feet long with 7.5 foot side setbacks. Boat lifts are listed as an accessory use in the city code (LDC Sec. 2.03.03).
Why it matters
Permits
Okaloosa County’s code points to the Northwest Florida Water Management District, FDEP and the Army Corps for dock and boathouse permits (Okaloosa LDC Sec. 1A.02.11). FDEP’s riparian rule keeps docks on state bottom 25 feet from side lines unless an exception applies.
