NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair New Smyrna Beach

Seawall repair in New Smyrna Beach no longer has its own city seawall article: the old Sec. 26-771 was repealed in May 2021 (Ord. 23-21), leaving state, federal and county rules to govern.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect New Smyrna Beach owners on the Indian River and the Intracoastal with licensed marine contractors who work under them.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Oceanfront walls

Seaward of the coastal setback line, a wall is allowed only to fill a gap under 200 feet between existing walls, or in an emergency (LDR Sec. 703.00). Its height may not exceed the higher of nearby grade or the two nearest walls.

Why it matters

Mosquito Lagoon

South of Ponce de Leon Inlet, the Mosquito Lagoon Aquatic Preserve borders New Smyrna Beach. Work over its bottom gets a stricter state review.
