HOLMES BEACH, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Holmes Beach
Dock repair in Holmes Beach needs written state and federal approval before the city building permit, along with an FDEP determination, a sealed survey and a notarized affidavit (City Code Ch. 66, Ord. 25-06).
We put Holmes Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who assemble the package.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Height and covers
Docks stay within 4 feet above mean high water, or 5 feet at an exposed canal end. No boathouses or canopies, and no docks into the Gulf. A dock damaged 50% or more loses nonconforming status (Sec. 66-119).
Why it matters
Sarasota Bay docks
On the Sarasota Bay Estuarine System, an Outstanding Florida Water, docks reach 60 feet unless FDEP approves more, up to 500 square feet. In dead-end canals, dock and boat stay within 20 feet of the seawall (Sec. 66-120).

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
