What this water allows
We measure the property’s water edge, then take 5 ft off each side — the boat setback that applies here, which is what leaves 40 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 105 ft canal nothing may extend more than 31 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).
