Comments for Pier
Is a pier or boat lift considered real estate and part of a property when it goes up for sale?
Jan 06, 2021 13:01:48Hey Bob! If the pier is attached to the waterfront property, it is part of it, and it sells together with the home. There are certain rights and regulations that restrict the owner’s ability to use the body of water or construct docks. Riparian rights and Littoral rights are two of the most important. However, if the property has a dock, the owner already has these rights; otherwise, the dock construction would be illegal.
