Due to our inter-local agreement with Orange County, all Edgewood residents must submit a boat dock application with the City prior to permitting with Orange County. Our review will include the side setbacks, roof height, terminal platform size, and other specific criteria. CLICK HERE to review the latest boat dock code for the City. 

DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR REVIEW: 

1) Edgewood Boat Dock Application

2) Pages 1 & 2 of Orange County Building Permit Application 

3) Agent/Owner Authorization Letter (if owner is using a contractor)

4) A survey showing the proposed location of the boat dock including measurements, setback information, NHWE, etc. 

5) A full set of engineering plans showing the proposed docks size, height, materials used, etc.  

PERMITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Submit the above documents to info@edgewood-fl.gov

2) Once City Staff received your application, they will send you an invoice to pay the following fees: $350 application fee and $1000 deposit towards pass-thru fees.  

3) Once payment is made, Staff will forward the application and documents to the City Engineer for their review. 

4) The Engineer may require some revisions and resubmittal during this process. Once the Engineer provides their approval, public notice will be mailed to the neighboring property owners within 300ft who have a legal interest in the shoreline.

5) Property owners will have 15 days to provide written comments stating any issues there may be with the proposed dock. 

6) If NO written objections are received, it shall be deemed that property owners have given consent and have waived their right to object to the construction to the dock. The application is then approved based on recommendation by the City Engineer 15 calendar days from the date notices are sent as long as the application is complete in all other aspects. If one written objection is received, or if the City Engineer believes the application should be approved by City Council, the Council will consider the application during a regularly scheduled council meeting (more details available on the application)

7) All documents will be stamped off for zoning approval by the City of Edgewood. The applicant can then submit all of their documents to Orange County through their Fast Track system for permitting and inspections.

8) City Staff will place a hold on the project at the County level. Once the work is complete, the applicant must provide the City with a final as-built survey, in which the Engineer will use to perform a final inspection verifying the dock was built as approved. Once then Engineer signs off, the City will lift the hold, and the applicant can then move forward with scheduling final inspection through the County.

9) Once a Certificate of Completion (CO) is provided to the applicant by Orange County, they must email it to the City to close out their file. Any remaining pass-thru fee balance will be reimbursed to the applicant.
