How big a dock can I build in Juno Beach?

No size limit in the codestate and federal rules govern

Juno Beach's code has no dock projection, width, setback or height rule. The zoning chapter only defines a dock, as a structure on pilings over water used for boat anchorage and access, so a private dock's size is set in practice by the state exemption or permit and the Army Corps.
