Flagler Beach waterfront guide
Flagler Beach owners should separate Smith Creek and Intracoastal work from Atlantic beach protection, then use the city’s marine and drainage records.

Get to know your waterfront
Flagler Beach has its own Building and Engineering office at the Wickline Building. The city publishes marine construction and separate grading or drainage forms. Betty Steflik Preserve documents the local salt-marsh and black-mangrove setting, while the county links Smith Creek tide information. These resources help distinguish a tidal waterfront assessment from an oceanfront coastal-armoring question.

Bring the wall and grading questions together
Show proposed changes to the wall, retained grade and outlets to the city early. Ask whether the project also requires drainage, right-of-way or grading review. Where natural marsh lies beside the structure, have the environmental reviewer identify the work limits and protection measures before the contractor prices clearing or access.
Local records worth knowing
- Flagler Beach is a separate incorporated city.
- Building and Engineering operate from 800 S. Daytona Avenue.
- Its forms include a seawall/dock/boathouse/deck application.
- Betty Steflik Preserve contains salt marsh and black-mangrove communities.
- The county publishes a link to Smith Creek tide observations.
What could the work cost?
Use the city’s current fee schedule and the proposed scope. Include any grading review, habitat protection and dock or utility work instead of comparing only a wall-material price.
Published Florida planning ranges, not Palm Coast quotes. Confirm the full scope for your property.

Flagler Beach project questions
Does the city permit replace DEP approval on the beach?
No. Local and state coastal questions are separate. Locate the CCCL and ask DEP what applies to the proposed oceanfront work.
