Even seasonal structures without permanent anchors need approval. This would include season boatlifts and seasonal personal watercraft lifts despite what that local dealer may tell you.

Swim rafts are not DES but rather Marine Patrol.

Installing a floating structure 1 ft. off shore, calling it a swim raft and tying a boat to it thinking that one is amazingly clever... no, sorry, been thought of dozens of times already. Eligible to be fined as both an illegal mooring and an illegal dock.
