🧱 New Rules for Seawalls in Fort Lauderdale – What You Need to Know

If you live on the water in Fort Lauderdale, you may have heard about new seawall rules. These rules are here to protect your home from rising tides and flooding.

🌊 What Changed?

Fort Lauderdale updated its seawall rules to help prevent water damage. Here’s what’s new:

⬆️ Seawalls Must Be Taller

New or repaired seawalls now need to be higher. This helps stop water from flooding your property during storms or high tides.

🧰 Seawalls Must Be Maintained

If your seawall is broken, cracked, or too short, it must be repaired. Keeping your seawall in good shape is now required.

📅 There’s a Deadline

If your seawall doesn’t meet the new rules, you’ll need to fix it by a set date. Waiting too long could lead to fines.

🏠 What This Means for You

If your home is on the water, you need to check your seawall now.
A damaged or short seawall could:

  • Put your home at risk of flooding

  • Cost you more money later

  • Result in city penalties
