MERRITT ISLAND, FLORIDA

Seawall Inspection Merritt Island

Seawall inspection in Merritt Island checks the standard Brevard County sets in Sec. 22-278: docks, lifts, seawalls and revetments must be kept structurally sound and in good condition.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We put Merritt Island owners in touch with licensed marine contractors who inspect canal and lagoon walls.

Free inspection, findings in writing, no obligation.

The 50% functional line

A canal repair within 18 inches on a wall at least 50% functional needs only stormwater review. On the lagoon, a wall less than half functional may not be replaced if the rock habitat cannot be permitted. The inspection decides which side you are on.

Why it matters

Nothing within 10 feet

County code keeps structures 10 feet landward of a seawall, except screen enclosures, low landscape walls and private piers (Sec. 22-603).

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