Use rules

The city code prohibits diving from docks (Sec. 7-1). On state-owned bottom, FDEP keeps docks 25 feet from riparian lines unless an exception applies.

Why it matters

After Michael

The Panama City Beach gauge recorded 3.9 feet above mean higher high water in 2018. Docks on St. Andrew Bay that were overtopped should have pilings and bolts checked.

Confirm whether your lot sits on state-owned bottom before planning a rebuild.

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