Is a permit required to install a boat lift?
Most government jurisdictions require a permit before a boat lift can be installed. In fact, there may be multiple agencies involved and they’ll require detailed engineering drawings and a site survey. Typically, though, many contractors will handle the permit process for you as part of their service. They’re aware of the requirements and local codes and can easily guide you through the process. Don’t forget, they have a vested interest in ensuring your lift is installed properly. No one wants any surprises during the final inspection by the county.
