Venice Construction
& Permit Services

Venice sits on a barrier island between the Gulf and the Intracoastal Waterway. Approximately 36% of properties are in FEMA's SFHA. Zone VE covers the Gulf beachfront, Zone AE extends throughout the island interior and Intracoastal side. Storm surge can affect the entire island in a major hurricane.

Zone VE is FEMA's coastal high-hazard area subject to wave action. Venice Beach beachfront properties in Zone VE must be elevated on open foundations (piles or columns). Solid walls below BFE are prohibited. MKC's engineers provide V-Zone Certifications required for coastal Venice projects.
