BRADENTON, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair Bradenton
Seawall repair in Bradenton starts with paperwork the city wants up front: proof of ownership or riparian rights and an FDEP permit or exemption letter (Bradenton LDR Sec. 5.1.2.14).
We connect Bradenton owners on the Manatee River and its canals with licensed marine contractors who handle it.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
City or county
Many Bradenton mailing addresses sit in unincorporated Manatee County, where LDC Sec. 511.17 applies instead. There, seawalls on lots created after May 15, 1989 must sit at least 4 feet above mean sea level with rip-rap at the toe.
Helene
The Port Manatee tide gauge read 6.04 feet above mean higher high water during Helene in 2024 (National Hurricane Center).
Why it matters
County permits
In the county, waterfront structures need an administrative permit from Environmental Review, plus USACE, FDEP and SWFWMD permits before construction.

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
