Existing seawall repair and replacement in Lynn Haven requires the same Docks and Seawalls permit from the Building Department, plus an FDEP Self-Certification (10-2 Letter) or full permit for any work waterward of the existing wall.
Seawall maintenance on North Bay and other Lynn Haven waterways is governed by the city's Docks and Seawalls permit (Building Department, 817 Ohio Ave). Replacing in the same footprint is generally a self-certification under FDEP's Sovereign Submerged Lands rules (62-330 F.A.C.). Any extension waterward, increase in height, or use of new materials triggers a full Environmental Resource Permit (ERP). Riprap installation is treated as a separate FDEP/ACOE matter. The Building Department coordinates with state agencies but does not waive any state authorization requirement.
Unpermitted seawall work is a city Sec. 1-7 violation plus FDEP enforcement and mandatory restoration. State penalties up to $10,000/day under F.S. 373.430.
