What we check

before it reaches you

  • Loading docks, lift stations and permit transfers filtered out.
  • Each permit typed: new dock, repair, lift, boathouse, seawall, shoreline.
  • The receiving waterbody named when the filing names it.
  • Every line links to the agency's record.

How it works

Docks, lifts, boathouses, seawalls and shoreline work all need a permit before a pile goes in. We read the county environmental files and the water district's applications and send marine contractors the new ones, sorted by type and waterbody.

Daily digest

The whole day, with your matches first.

Alerts only

Just the lines naming your permit types, waterbodies, counties. Nothing on a quiet day.

Who reads it

Marine contractors, dock builders, lift and seawall installers, and their suppliers.
