Seawalls in Hollywood
Hollywood's waterfront runs along the Intracoastal Waterway from Dania Beach to Hallandale Beach. On the mainland side, the Hollywood Lakes section wraps around North Lake and South Lake, and the Harbor Islands neighborhood sits on finger canals off the Intracoastal. Across the water, homes and condos on the Hollywood Beach barrier island face the Intracoastal on their west side.
Much of this waterfront was built out in the middle of the last century, and many seawalls are original or have been patched more than once. Owners in Hollywood often call about cracked caps, spalling panels with exposed rebar, soil loss behind the wall, and water topping low walls during the highest tides of the year.
Permits and elevation in Hollywood
Structural seawall work in Hollywood generally needs a city building permit, and work in tidal water can also require Broward County environmental review. Broward County's regional tidal flood barrier standard calls for new and substantially repaired seawalls to reach 5 feet NAVD88, with a 4 foot option for applications before 2035 when the wall is designed to be raised later. Cities apply that standard through their own codes, so confirm the exact rule for your address with the City of Hollywood or your contractor before you finalize a design.
Lakes and finger canals can limit access for equipment, so some projects are done from a barge on the water side. A contractor will factor that into the plan and price.
