Common questions
Do I need a permit to repair my seawall?
Most structural seawall repairs in Fort Lauderdale need a city building permit, and work in tidal water may also need Broward County environmental review. The licensed contractor you hire normally pulls the permits. Ask for permit costs to be listed in your written quote.
How much does seawall repair cost?
It depends on the length of wall, its condition, whether work is done from land or from a barge, and whether the wall has to be raised to the current elevation standard. A small cap or crack repair can cost a fraction of a full replacement, which is usually priced by the linear foot. The only reliable number is a written quote after an on-site look, and asking for one through us is free.
How long does a repair take?
Small repairs are often done in days once permits are in hand. Full replacements take longer, and permitting is frequently the longest part of the schedule. Your contractor will give you a timeline with the quote.
What are the city's seawall elevation rules?
Fort Lauderdale updated its seawall ordinance in March 2023 to match Broward County's regional tidal flood barrier standard. New and substantially repaired seawalls generally need a top elevation of 5 feet NAVD88. Applications submitted before January 1, 2035 may be permitted at 4 feet NAVD88 if the wall is designed to reach 5 feet by 2050. Other Broward cities apply the county standard through their own codes, so confirm the rule for your address.
Do you work with HOAs and condo associations?
Yes. Tell us the property, the approximate length of wall and your timeline, and we connect the association with a licensed, insured contractor who can provide a written inspection and quote for board review.
