I have used an anchor as an off-set when tieing to some friend's dock. I used to prefer to leave the line in the water and fish it out with a hook. You can put a loop in your line and hang it to the dock if you'd rather.
Either way, as long as that float isnt there catching anyone's eye, you should be okay. Might not be striclty within the letter of the law though, as Skip pointed out.
Good luck!
