Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Ormond Beach owners in touch with licensed marine contractors for the structural work that does.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Structural work

The City of Ormond Beach chief building official approves plans and issues the permit, with DEP and Army Corps permits attached unless the work qualifies for consent by rule.

A rebuilt dock keeps the 25 foot riparian setback on shorelines of 65 feet or more (LDC Sec. 2-50(e)).

Walkways stay under 6 feet wide and catwalks under 3 feet.

Why it matters

Near wetlands

Work within 100 feet of a regulated wetland also needs a city wetlands protection permit.

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
