County Guides

Every county permits differently. See the data.

Florida has no single marine permitting process — each coastal county has its own agencies, forms, quirks and timelines. These guides draw on historical permitting data to show how review actually looks, county by county.

What every guide covers

Each guide is built from real permit records for that jurisdiction — not generic advice.

Agencies involved

Which county, state, and federal agencies review marine work there — and when each gets involved.

Step-by-step process

The actual sequence of submissions, reviews, and sign-offs for that jurisdiction.

Typical documents

Surveys, engineering, environmental assessments, and forms the county usually expects.

Common pitfalls

The mistakes that most often trigger deficiency letters and resubmissions locally.

Timeline expectations

Realistic review windows, based on how that county actually processes marine permits.

Guides are rolling out

Full written guides are being published county by county. In the meantime, the same historical permitting data powers the Tideway platform and the Free Property Permit Check today.
