Need quick lesson on docks

Steve H · 10-14-2008, 07:27 AM

I am looking at purchasing a island camp that has more dock space than we need or want to maintain. We have been told that the previous owner just added on every time he got a new boat and never got a permit. The docks are of marginal quailty. Would it be difficult to get a pemit to rip out the entire existing dock and replace it with smaller higher quality dock? How can you tell how much dock is legally supposed to be there or is it grandfathered? Just trying to avoid a can of worms.
