NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair New Port Richey
Seawall repair in New Port Richey along the Pithlachascotee River depends on who owns the wall: docks attached to city-owned seawall must be floating, with no davits, lifts or utilities on the wall (City Code Sec. 5-44).
We connect New Port Richey owners with licensed marine contractors who know the city’s dock and river rules.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Docks on a seawall
On the river, a deck may sit no more than 2 feet above an established seawall, or 3 feet above mean high water where there is no wall (Sec. 5-46). Docks attached to city seawall may be repaired unless 50% or more is replaced; past that, the owner has 90 days to comply or remove.
Pilings
Pilings stop at 10 feet above mean high water with at least 6 feet of penetration, and bents sit no more than 12 feet on center (Sec. 5-52).
Why it matters
State and federal first
The city issues no dock permit until each state or federal agency confirms a permit was issued or none is needed (Sec. 5-49). Helene’s water reached 7.60 feet above mean higher high water at a Pasco County sensor in 2024 (National Hurricane Center).

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
- On-site assessment of the structure and surrounding soil
