PONTE VEDRA, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Ponte Vedra
Dock builders in Ponte Vedra can place a dock on a lot with no house if parking is within 300 feet; farther than that needs a Special Use Permit (St. Johns County LDC Sec. 2.02.04).
We connect Ponte Vedra owners with licensed marine contractors who design for the Intracoastal and Tolomato.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Clearing
The county allows only the minimum clearing needed to build a dock (LDC Sec. 4.01.02.G).

Why it matters
Preserve limits
In an aquatic preserve, docks stop at 4 feet of depth, 20% of the waterbody or 500 feet, and keep 25 feet inside riparian lines.
Neighborhood docks follow a separate county section (LDC Sec. 6.08.41). Single-family docks follow the accessory structure rules.
