Dock Repair St. James City
Dock repair in St. James City needs a Lee County permit to replace a structure, with 3 feet of water at mean low water at the dock (LDC Sec. 26-71).
We put St. James City owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who file through ePlan.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Pine Island Sound
The Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve covers 58,500 acres between Pine Island and the barrier islands. Inside it, docks follow the state’s 4 foot walkway and 160 square foot platform limits.
Why it matters
Setbacks
On natural water, docks keep 25 feet from side lines on lots of 65 feet or more, and 10 feet on smaller lots.
Replacing a dock within 5 feet of its old spot, no larger and with no fill, is exempt from a state permit, but the Lee County permit still applies.
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
