What permits do I need for dock or seawall work?

By Steve Conley

Short Answer

Dock and seawall work requires permits from multiple agencies including the Army Corps of Engineers, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and Monroe County. Work without proper permits can lead to fines and required restoration.

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.
