What to check before buying on a bay, harbor or sound

Bay, harbor, inlet and sound properties are often tidal, so the water depth at a dock can change twice a day. Seawalls, bulkheads and docks on salt or brackish water need regular maintenance, and permits for new shoreline work usually involve more than one agency.

What is the depth at the dock at low tide, measured by whom and when?
What is the condition and age of the seawall or bulkhead, and who maintains it?
Which agencies permit docks, lifts and shoreline work here, and are the existing structures permitted?
What do the flood map and flood insurance quotes say for this specific building?
