Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Sebastian owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who file them.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Canals and lakes

On local canals and lakes, the dock sits in the center third of the frontage and reaches no more than 20 feet or a third of the waterway.

Contact

The City of Sebastian building department issues the permit after state and federal approval.

Offshore pilings follow the same 20 foot limit as the dock.
