INDIALANTIC, FLORIDA

Dock Repair Indialantic

Dock repair in Indialantic needs a Town Council permit for docks, piers and floating docks on the Indian River (Sec. 103-218).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Indialantic owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the application.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Preserve limits

In the aquatic preserve, state rules cap a dock at 500 feet or 20% of the waterbody width, with a 4 foot walkway and a 160 square foot terminal platform (Rule 18-20.004).

Preserve rules

Docks over seagrass in the preserve sit at least 5 feet above mean high water, and a dock from an existing bulkhead stops at 25 feet.

Why it matters

Plan ahead

Council permits follow the Town’s meeting schedule. Build that time into the repair plan.

Floating docks need the same Council permit as fixed ones.

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