OSPREY, FLORIDA
Dock Repair Osprey
Dock repair in Osprey takes a WANCA general permit for a same-size rebuild, valid one year, with work starting within six months and 90 day extensions available (County Code Sec. 54-658).
We put Osprey owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who handle the county permit.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Bigger changes
Expanding a dock to five or more slips, or any work that is not minor, general or exempt, needs a major permit with a public hearing about 60 working days after a complete application. Owners within 500 feet get mailed notice.
Why it matters
Old docks
Docks built after January 1, 1985 without a permit must be removed, and after-the-fact permits cost triple. Ask for permit history before buying a waterfront home.
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.
