Waterfront Properties

Waterfront properties are the crown jewels of the Florida Keys real estate market. From deep-water canals to open bayfront, the condition of your seawall, the depth of your canal, and the status of your dock permits all affect value and enjoyment.

This section is being built out with detailed answers. In the meantime, here are the questions currently available under this topic:

What is a controlling depth and why does it matter? How do I check if a dock is permitted? What does seawall replacement cost in the Keys? What is the difference between canalfront and oceanfront? How do bridge clearances affect my boat access? What marine inspections should I get before buying? How do I verify dock and lift permits? What is a submerged land lease? How do tides affect waterfront property access? What is the best canal depth for my boat?
