FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Fort Walton Beach
Dock repair in Fort Walton Beach must comply with FDEP and Army Corps rules, and the repaired dock must be kept safe and clean (Fort Walton Beach LDC Sec. 5.01.15).
We put Fort Walton Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the permits.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Bass Lake
On Bass Lake, docks are limited to 20 feet long and must keep at least 7.5 feet from side lines. A rebuilt dock there should be measured against both limits.

Why it matters
State bottom
On state-owned submerged land, FDEP rules set a 25 foot riparian side setback, with exceptions (Rule 18-21.004(3)(d), F.A.C.). Your contractor should confirm which apply to your lot and any city permit needed.
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
