Docks and boat lifts

**Mrs. Kane** · 03-09-2010, 01:37 PM

I can't believe I am asking this but....

does anyone know what is involved in getting a permit for 1. a dock and 2. a boat lift in Florida and Georgia? Cost of permits, etc. Have the tree huggers made it really expensive and difficult?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I like where this is going.

I've created a monster. I'm changing my handle to Dr. Moombastein.

just get a place with the dock and lift in place---say a lake between N Tampa and S tally

It depends on the waterway for the dock and the lift. It also depends on the type of lift that you are wanting.

My lake requires a permit to install a dock. It already had one when we bought the house. Any contractor that will install your dock will pull the required permits.

I have an aluminum boat lift that is "free standing". I can remove it with a few friends (this is just a theory right now as it has not been moved in 6 years). There was no permit required for that lift.

ZEGM recently built a new dock/lift, he should know about the permits for sure.

BTW, we have an offer in on a "short sale" lake house in N. Tampa and will be moving down there in a few years.

We bought a cabin on Lake Nottely(N. GA MTNS) last year. It's a TVA lake so we had to file paperwork (online) that included drawings and a survey. It took about 30 days for approval. No fixed docks, only floating. We're having a 5000lb boat lift install for $5500.00. I'm hoping that's a good price.

**kaneboats** · 03-10-2010, 12:07 AM

Yeah, why are you asking?

Max: Congrats on your pending purchase.

Wolfe: Yes, I have read all your posts and am grateful for your offers. However, it's a little far to be going there every weekend.

CB: That is good to hear.

Kane: Enquiry minds want to know.

If I'm hearing this right, it seems the LSV doesn't have to fit in the garage afterall.
