Residential Dock Builders in Charleston, SC

Private or shared?

• Private dock. One per waterfront lot. If your lot was created after May 23, 1993, it needs 75 feet of frontage at the marsh edge.
• Joint use dock. Shared by two to four families. It needs 50 feet of frontage and can be bigger than a private dock.
• If your lot's narrower than 50 feet at the marsh edge, it isn't eligible for a dock at all.

Before you call, check

• Your plat. It should show where the critical line runs.
• Your HOA or ARB. A lot of neighborhoods want to see dock plans. Some have a Dock Master Plan that says which lots can even have a dock.
• Your old permit. If there's a dock there now, dig out its permit. It matters for repairs.

Buying a waterfront home?

Ask if the dock was permitted and if any permit on it is still active. The state lets an active permit transfer to the new owner.
