A homeowner guide and brief discussions on general CCCL topics and coastal armoring.
Instructions for preparing and submitting CCCL permit applications and electronic documents.
CCCLs are established in 25 of Florida’s coastal counties with sandy beaches, and may be re-established if a county’s shoreline conditions change dramatically due to historic erosion or hurricanes and other large storms.
The CCCL location is based on coastal engineering models, survey and bathymetric data and scientific principles that determine the upland or landward extent of the damaging effects of a 100-year storm event. Coastal construction regulations are also applied to sandy “pocket beaches” in Florida’s Big Bend region and in the Florida Keys.
