GENERAL STANDARDS AND CRITERIA - ALL DOCKS Cannot extend out more than 500 feet waterward of MHW or 20% the width of the waterbody, whichever is less.
Any activity conducted without a required permit is considered a “public nuisance” and may be required to be removed. State and local governmental regulations provide specific criteria intended to protect waters and other natural resources which must be met before a permit will be issued.
As a rule of thumb, a dock does not have to be as large as the boat that arrives at it, provided passengers can board and disembark safely. As an example, if a property is 85 feet wide, but a dock is 50 feet long, a 64-foot motor yacht can dock at the space.
Dock Permitting in Florida | Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The configuration of the platform shall be a maximum of 6 feet by 20 feet of which a minimum 4-foot wide by 20-foot long section shall conform to the 5-foot height requirement. A section may be placed 3 feet above MHW to facilitate boat access. The 3 feet above MHW section shall be cantilevered.
You don't need to obtain permits if: The activities meet the thresholds dictated by the Florida Statute (FS) or the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The dock doesn't exceed 500 square feet over the water. The dock is not more than 1,000 square feet total.
Docks typically last around 20-30 years at most, and if there has been little maintenance done in that time, then it's probably necessary replacement rather than repair. all docks are not made alike, and the dock materials and craftmanship will greatly influence the lifespan of your dock.
