What this water allows

Boat setback10 ft each side
Dockable lengththe water edge less the setbacks75 ft
Reach across the canal30% of 161 ft, dock and boat together · the dock itself stops at 25 ft48 ft
Depthno public survey we can rely onNot stated

We measure the property’s water edge, then take 10 ft off each side — the boat setback that applies here, which is what leaves 75 ft of dockable length. Width is the other limit: a dock and the boat tied to it may together reach 30% of the way across, so on this 161 ft canal nothing may extend more than 48 ft from your property line. Depth is the one limit we don’t state: no public survey covers these canals at a resolution we can rely on.

Limits from ULDR 47‑19.3(h) (where a moored boat may lie) and Code 8‑91(e) (how far it may reach).
