PALM CITY, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Palm City
Dock builders in Palm City can put one elevated dock up to 6 feet wide on a single-family lot without a county waiver (Martin County LDR 4.3.E.1.a).
We connect Palm City owners with licensed marine contractors who design for the river.
Free consultation and a written scope.
In the preserve
On the North Fork above Jenkins Point, the preserve limits a dock to 500 feet or 20% of the waterbody width, with a terminal platform up to 160 square feet.
County permit
Martin County issues the dock permit after state and federal approvals, under Code Sec. 21.252, with Florida Building Code drawings.

Why it matters
Canal walls
On pre-1982 manmade canals, a new seawall is allowed only where at least 75% of the canal’s lots had permitted walls by 2000.
