HUDSON, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Hudson
Dock repair in Hudson needs a Pasco County permit, and a nonconforming dock that is substantially damaged must be rebuilt to current rules (Pasco LDC Sec. 1001.5.F, Code Sec. 18-36).
We put Hudson owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the county permit.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
What counts as substantial
Substantial improvement means any work that needs a building permit, including new or replacement supports, electrical or plumbing, or a lateral extension. That work needs the county permit, all state and federal authorizations and the upland owner’s sign-off (Sec. 1001.3).
Pilings near the line
If pilings sit 3 feet or less from a side-use line, an as-built survey is required at inspection (Sec. 1001.5.C). Floating-dock flotation must be fully encapsulated (Code Sec. 114-52).
Why it matters
Heights and roofs
Docks, lifts, pilings and roofs top out at 15 feet above mean high water. Roofs, walls and enclosures over water are prohibited unless permitted before June 1, 2010, on a private inland waterbody, or a permitted lift canopy.
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
