Self-certification

FDEP guidance says online self-certification is not available in an aquatic preserve, which covers much of the lagoon off Jensen Beach.

Dock drawings must follow the Florida Building Code.

Why it matters

Hazardous materials

Martin County bans hazardous materials on docks and pilings (LDR 3.202). Old treated material removed in a repair has to be disposed of properly.

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
