County and state

St. Johns County permits the work; FDEP’s Northeast District reviews in-water changes. Contractors must be registered with the county.

Why it matters

The Tolomato River

The Guana River Marsh Aquatic Preserve covers the Tolomato River and its tributaries. Docks inside it follow preserve limits.

FDEP charges $100 for an exemption verification. Inside an aquatic preserve, online self-certification is not available, so a repair there goes through full review.

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
