Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect owners on the Middle River and its canals with licensed marine contractors who build to the city rule.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

No 4 foot interim in the city text

Broward’s model allows 4 feet before 2035, but Wilton Manors’ code text sets 5 feet without that step. The city’s own seawall page says residents must raise to 5 feet on new construction or substantial renovation.

Rip-rap on new walls

A new seawall where none existed before needs rip-rap at its face. Substantial improvements apply to the whole length of the property.

Why it matters

What goes with the permit

The city checklist asks for a survey sealed within the last two years, sealed engineering drawings, the Broward environmental review approval and general license, and FDEP, Army Corps and SFWMD approvals. The city says to apply with Broward County first.

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