VERO BEACH, FLORIDA
Dock Builders Vero Beach
Dock builders in Vero Beach keep a dock within 20% of the waterway width, with mooring and dolphin poles out to 30% (LDR Sec. 67.14(10)).
We connect Vero Beach owners with licensed marine contractors who design to it.
Free consultation and a written scope.
Keeping the channel open
40% of the waterway must stay clear, and never less than 20 feet. Docks sit 15 feet from riparian lines.
Approvals
The City of Vero Beach Planning and Development Department certifies the dock first, with sealed drawings and the FDEP and Army Corps applications. On the Indian River Lagoon, both apply.

Why it matters
Submerged land
A dock over city-owned or private submerged land needs a license or lease. Dock rental is not allowed unless the zoning permits a marina.
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
- Photos and a plain-English explanation of the problem
- Written estimate with scope and materials
- Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
