Concrete seawall cap along a Palm Harbor waterway

PALM HARBOR, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair Palm Harbor

Seawall repair in Palm Harbor goes through Pinellas County, because Palm Harbor is unincorporated and has no city building department.

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect Palm Harbor owners with licensed marine contractors who file with the county.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Two county offices

The county building department issues the construction permit. Pinellas County Water and Navigation handles any dredge and fill.

Replace a wall in its existing line, or within 1 foot of the old face, and no county dredge and fill permit is needed (Sec. 58-573).

Why it matters

Expedited after a disaster

Since January 2025, the county can allow fast-track seawall replacement with the fee waived after a declared disaster (Sec. 58-507). The window to apply is 90 days, and the work must be done within 6 months.

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
  • Written estimate with scope and materials
  • Repair versus replacement guidance where both are options
