PLACIDA, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair Placida
Seawall repair in Placida is the owner’s job under Charlotte County code, and lots within 1,200 feet of Placida Harbor, Gasparilla Sound or the Gulf fall under the county’s waterfront building rules with a 20 foot setback from mean high water (Charlotte County Code Sec. 3-9-88).
We connect Placida owners with licensed marine contractors who work the harbor and canals.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
What the county does not do
County waterway assessments exclude seawall maintenance, and public dredging keeps 15 feet off seawalls (Sec. 3-5-476). Charlotte County’s published code sets no seawall cap height, so the design follows the building code and state permits.
Why it matters
Storms
Charley made landfall near Cayo Costa at 130 knots in 2004, and Ian came ashore near Punta Gorda at 125 knots in 2022 (National Hurricane Center). Check the wall’s cap, joints and backfill after any storm.

You get a written scope and estimate. No obligation, no trip fee.
