Marco Island FAQ

Common questions about permits, flood compliance, and construction in Marco Island.

Why is Marco Island's flood risk so extreme?

Marco Island is a barrier island surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico and Marco River with approximately 68% SFHA coverage. Zone VE (coastal high-hazard with wave action) covers the Gulf beachfront. Storm surge can affect the entire island in a major hurricane event.

What is Zone VE and how does it affect Marco Island construction?

Zone VE requires structures to be elevated on open foundations — piles or columns — that allow wave action to pass underneath. Solid walls below BFE are prohibited. MKC's engineers provide the V-Zone Certifications required for all Zone VE construction on Marco Island.

Does MKC handle permits with the City of Marco Island?

Yes. MKC manages all permits with the City of Marco Island's Building Department and floodplain administrator. We handle residential, commercial, and specialized coastal construction permits throughout the island.

Can MKC help with Marco Island substantial damage compliance?

Yes. MKC performs substantial damage assessments, coordinates with the city, and manages the full elevation and rebuild process for Marco Island properties that have exceeded the 50% threshold from storm damage or accumulated improvements.
