PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Panama City Beach
Dock builders in Panama City Beach design to the city’s land development code and, on state-owned bottom, FDEP’s 25 foot riparian side setback (Rule 18-21.004(3)(d), F.A.C.).
We connect Panama City Beach owners with licensed marine contractors who confirm the city rules for each lot.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Plan for storms
Michael pushed 3.9 feet above mean higher high water at the Panama City Beach gauge and 4.3 feet at a USGS sensor in 2018. Deck height and piling depth should account for that water on St. Andrew Bay.
Why it matters
Permits
Ask your contractor to list every permit the job needs, city, state and federal, before construction. The city building code covers waterfront structures (Sec. 8-132).
Lots on St. Andrews Bay may sit over state-owned bottom, which brings FDEP review.
What a free inspection includes
A contractor comes to your property, looks at the structure above and below the waterline where needed, and tells you what is actually happening.
You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
