A stamped concrete contractor in New Smyrna Beach starts at the setback line
The city keeps its own Coastal Construction Setback Line, and it sits at the same location as the state's coastal construction control line. LDR 703.02 allows nothing seaward of it except exempt items. That means no principal building, no accessory structures such as decks, patios, garages, sheds and gazebos, and no hardscape such as pavers and planters. Dune walkovers and some seawalls and fences are exempt with a building permit. Everything else needs a variance from the planning and zoning board, and the board must deny it if any listed criterion isn't met.
FDEP's control line runs about 10.4 km inside the city. On a beachside lot, a patio can be a flat no before anyone talks pattern. So we settle the line first and ask for your survey on the first call. For how the state line and flood zones stack up on a barrier-island lot, read the beachside concrete guide.
