I doubt it. Seems the point of the non-transferable permit would put the burden at the time of sale for updates. Check with APCO.

If I sell my home can the buyer transfer the permit?

Can and will this qualify to float on Smith Lake on private property ?

They will tell you exactly what you can have depending upon the characteristics of your lot. Call them and they’ll come out for free and give you an assessment and explain their reasoning according to the rules. Then you can order your boathouse or make that home offer with confidence. If I can ever help you find a lake home, please let me know! Alabama Power’s number is: (205) 384-7385

Would it be feasible to add a boat house one slip? Also it supposedly only has seasonal water. Where can I get pics of what it looks like in winter and could year round water be achieved by extending the ramp? Thank you so much!
