Principal, Conley Sales Group at COMPASS
Dock and seawall work in the Keys requires permits from up to three agencies -- Monroe County, the Florida DEP, and the Army Corps of Engineers. The process can take 3 to 6 months minimum. I always tell my clients to factor permitting timelines into their project budgets.
