FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Fort Pierce
Dock repair in Fort Pierce on the Indian River Lagoon falls inside the Indian River-Vero Beach to Fort Pierce Aquatic Preserve, which runs to the North Beach Causeway north of Fort Pierce Inlet.
We put Fort Pierce owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who work under those rules.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Preserve limits
State rules cap a preserve dock at 500 feet or 20% of the waterbody width, with a 4 foot walkway and a 160 square foot terminal platform (Rule 18-20.004).
Rule source
The preserve limits come from Rule 18-20.004 of the Florida Administrative Code, and the 25 foot riparian setback from Chapter 18-21.
The City of Fort Pierce building department permits the repair once FDEP and Army Corps approval is in.
Why it matters
Self-certification
FDEP guidance says online self-certification is not available in an aquatic preserve. Plan for a full state review.
