For waterfront homeowners planning home renovations or improvements, such as building a dock or adding a seawall, it is important to investigate land laws prior to purchase. Make sure that planned construction and renovations are possible on your potential property, as many government agencies have strict, inflexible regulations regarding land use. No homeowner wants to find themselves in the predicament of committing to a home purchase with plans to renovate, only to find that their plans are impossible. Consult with your REALTOR® about area restrictions regarding renovation, construction and recreation prior to purchase, as many types of waterfront properties also have local ordinances restricting the use of jet skis, speedboats and other watercraft.
