ST. JAMES CITY, FLORIDA
Seawall Repair St. James City
Seawall repair in St. James City canals follows Lee County LDC Sec. 26-75: replacements no more than 1 foot waterward, with 12 inch rock rip-rap at least 3 feet high along half the wall.
We connect St. James City owners on Pine Island with licensed marine contractors who build to it.
Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.
Natural shoreline
On natural water, no new or expanded seawalls are allowed. Existing walls can be repaired or replaced in kind under the county’s 2022 update (Ord. 22-24).
Why it matters
Permits
Lee County takes applications through ePlan, with state and federal permits filed separately.
In artificial canals, a wall is allowed only where at least half the bank is already walled. Pine Island saw 6 to 9 feet of surge above ground in Ian, so check walls for lost backfill.
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

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