Why it matters

Storm history

Nicole pushed nearby Mayport to a 5.54 foot NAVD88 storm tide in 2022 (National Hurricane Center).

Restoring a wall at its old line, or up to 18 inches waterward, is exempt from a state permit, but the city’s site plan rule still applies on intracoastal, marsh and canal lots.

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