  Permitting & Design by Construct Co, Inc
  When contemplating the construction of a bulkhead (seawall), or any improvement near or over wetlands, or water, several permitting agencies may need to be contacted. Any legitimate contractor will direct an owner to obtain permits before starting any project that may impact a wetland. It is the owner's responsibility to assure that a permit is obtained by him/herself or by the licensed contractor. Starting work without first applying for a permit is unlawful and punishable by a fine of $250. The permit must be posted on the jobsite so it can be seen from the street. Some of the agencies that may require notification are as follows
   
   
 
State of Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection

There will be a regional office to contact in your area. Below is the link to the Florida department of Environmental Protection site, permitting page.

County Building Department

 

This permit is unique to the county the project is located in. To find which permits are required for your county contact your building official. Florida-Business-Data is a website that among other things lists all of Florida's 67 counties and the webpage for each county that has one available. Below is the link.
