Dock Repair Homosassa
Dock repair in Homosassa needs a Citrus County building permit, and any boat cover rebuilt with the dock must stay open on every side, with no roof railings or roof-access ladders (Citrus LDC Sec. 3101.H).
We put Homosassa owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who file with the county.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Lots without a house
Docks are not allowed on lots with no principal use unless the lot is undevelopable or a Conditional Use is approved. Conditions include the owner’s home within 100 feet, no electrical service except solar lighting, and one boat at most (Sec. 3102.A.1).
Homosassa River zones
The main marked channel of the Homosassa River is 25 mph year-round, while Otter Creek, Nature’s Resort Canal and the residential canals are idle speed, and Blue Waters is closed to entry from November 15 to March 31 (Rule 68C-22.011).

Why it matters
State exemption
FDEP exempts a single-family dock up to 1,000 square feet in canals and outside Outstanding Florida Waters, with roofs and decking counted, and verifying the exemption costs $100. Lift roofs may overhang no more than 1 foot.
