What the county asks for

A vicinity map, existing and proposed plan and section drawings, a site survey, and in tidal canals the mean high water, mean low water and bottom elevations.

Repairing the wall too

Why it matters

When it is more than a repair

The general license covers repair or replacement up to 500 square feet over water. Grow past that, or touch wetlands, and a full environmental resource license is required.

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.

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
