The standard rule is on a body of water over a thousand acres you can go 40 feet out and 6 ft wide with a min. of 75 ft of frontage. Less than a thousand acres with 75 ft of frontage you can have a 6 x 30 ft dock. If you have less than 75 ft of frontage you would need to file a dredge and fill permit application to get a max. 24 ft. Dont forget that there is a 20 ft abbutter reference. If you were to put a dock within 20 ft of your property line you would need to have certified paper work from your nieghbor to present to the state. In saying that if you have 50 ft of frontage you need to subtract 40 ft. that leaves you with 10 ft where you dont need permission from your nieghbor to do anything. Hope this was helpfull.......
