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?
