Local context
Tequesta sits at the northern edge of Palm Beach County along the Loxahatchee River, with private docks and basins along both the main river channel and connected tributaries. Loxahatchee Wild and Scenic River designation creates an additional environmental review layer for most waterfront projects here.
Permitting runs through Palm Beach County ERM, the Village of Tequesta, and South Florida Water Management District coordination. The Loxahatchee's designation means USACE involvement is virtually guaranteed, and Wild and Scenic River review can add weeks to the timeline.
