Why it matters

No county height rule

Clay County’s code has no seawall elevation rule. The design height is the engineer’s call.

FDEP’s Northeast District reviews work waterward of mean high water on the St. Johns River, Doctors Lake and Black Creek. Ask the contractor which approval your wall needs.

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

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

  • Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
