Ozona at a glance
Ozona's first recorded homestead was Walton Whitehurst's in 1875. Today it is an unincorporated community within the Palm Harbor census area, about four miles north of downtown Dunedin, with its own post office.
It's a compact place with a village feel, sitting on St. Joseph Sound between Palm Harbor's historic center and Crystal Beach. Many of its waterfront lots are small and close to the water.
What Ozona seawalls are up against
Ozona's waterfront tends toward smaller lots and older homes mixed with rebuilds. Shorter walls are common, but so are docks and lifts that tie into the cap, which complicates otherwise simple repairs.

Free EstimateSeawall services that fit Ozona
- Seawall Cap Repair
Short, older walls often need cap spall repair more than structural work.
- Seawall Inspections
On small lots, an inspection can confirm whether a few repairs will do instead of a full wall.
- Seawall Crack & Joint Repair
Joint leaks show up quickly as sinkholes on shallow yards.
Small lots, small jobs
Some contractors set minimum job sizes. On a short Ozona wall, ask about minimums up front, and consider coordinating with a neighbor so both walls get checked in one visit.

Prices depend on length, damage and access. Published ranges give you a baseline. Short walls can still carry a minimum charge for mobilization, so per-foot comparisons can be misleading on small Ozona lots.

Ozona seawall questions
Is Ozona incorporated?
No. It's unincorporated, within the Palm Harbor census area, so Pinellas County handles permits.
Does Ozona have its own ZIP code?
It has its own post office (ZIP 34660), but that doesn't change who permits the work. The County does.
Can neighbors share a seawall project?
Often, yes. Shared mobilization and coordinated tie-ins can make sense on adjoining small lots.
