Why it matters

Permits

Lee County permits go through its ePlan portal, with the Marine Final as the last inspection. County approval does not replace state or federal permits.

The rip-rap must be 12 inch rock stacked at least 3 feet high. No new or expanded walls are allowed on natural water (Ord. 22-24).

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
