We plan and refer; we do not build
Panama City Beach Seawall is an independent planning and referral website. We publish seawall guides and help owners prepare for a project. We are not a contractor, engineer, surveyor, inspector, insurer or government agency, and we do not perform seawall, dock or shoreline work.
Waterfront scenes on the site set the visual theme. They are not photos of completed projects or of any specific property.
How we may be paid
We may receive compensation from a partner contractor for an introduction. Reading the guides and submitting a request cost owners nothing.
You choose your professional
You decide whether to talk with any professional we introduce. You choose the contractor, engineer or surveyor, and you sign any contract directly with them. Check the license before you agree to anything:
- Look up both the contracting business and its individual qualifier, so the license matches the company on the contract. DBPR license guidance
- Call the DBPR Construction Industry Licensing Board contact line at (850) 487-1395 with questions. DBPR contact
- Report unlicensed activity to the DBPR hotline at (866) 532-1440. DBPR Unlicensed Activity program
- Remember that a business tax receipt or an LLC filing is not a contractor license. Bay County licensing handout
Florida has a state-certified marine specialty contractor category for seawalls, bulkheads and docks. Rule 61G4-15.100, F.A.C. The contractor verification guide covers every step.
