Dock and Shoreline Permit Verification

Waterfront due diligence

The dock is not part of the deed. Verify it before you offer.

We confirm the lake use permit number, the permit holder of record, and whether the structure as built matches the structure as permitted, before you sign. Covers Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, Mountain Island and Lake Hickory under FERC Project No. 2232, and High Rock under the separate Yadkin project.

What gets done

What this actually includes.

  • The permit number, and whose name is actually on it
  • Whether the structure as built matches the structure as permitted
  • Shoreline classification, and what it allows you to add later
  • Buffer rules and how close to the water anything may be built
  • Water depth at the dock, measured rather than described
  • On High Rock, the annual pier permit renewal and the different licensee
Why this is its own service

A dock that was built larger than its permit, or whose permit sits in a previous owner’s name, becomes your problem on the day you close. It is the single most expensive thing people skip on waterfront.
