One county office for every seawall
Pinellas County's Water and Navigation section permits seawalls, docks, riprap and dredge-and-fill projects in every city and in the unincorporated county. Cities still handle their own building permits, and some add a step: Clearwater asks for city pre-approval first, and South Pasadena sent a 2026 height-increase replacement to a public hearing.
Your contractor should confirm in writing which approvals your address needs and who files them.
