Michael’s water

During Michael in 2018, the Panama City Beach tide gauge reached 3.9 feet above mean higher high water, and a USGS sensor read 4.3 feet (National Hurricane Center). Walls on St. Andrew Bay frontage took that water against the cap.

Why it matters

Ask about local rules

The city’s land development code sets the detailed seawall rules, so have your contractor confirm them with the Panama City Beach building department before a scope is final. On state-owned bottom, FDEP’s riparian rule sets a 25 foot side setback with exceptions (Rule 18-21.004(3)(d)).

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