A friend of mine bought a house on Lake Worth and he's wanting to dump some beach sand to the shore to make a volleyball area and beach. Iv had a couple of people tell me that it's against the law. Do any of yall know where these regulations are?

I'm pretty sure the city owns the beach line, might be able to look up property lines on the appraisal site for your area.

I have to stick to the theory of its easier to ask for forgiveness then permission in anything lake relatedComment

This is stupid advice, you don't ask forgiveness from the law. There's no forgiveness, there's fines, property seizure, community service, in some cases jail, etc...Originally posted by snacksnack View Post
That's not to say that you wouldn't be able to get some sort of permit, it's worth looking into.Comment

There may be a no change rule, but I suspect it's just an access way rule which means no permanent structures. Either way it needs to be looked into before doing anything. As the fines could be quite heavyComment

Bad idea.Originally posted by snacksnack View Post
Our family had a lakehouse on Whitney on the cliffs, just across the bend from those white cliffs that have been falling into the water. They have an OLD trolley that takes you down the face of the cliff to the water and back up. It's been there so long that it's grandfathered in, but the Corps of Engineers no longer allows any changes or added access to the water from any of those houses anymore. We'll, the neighbor wanted access, so he brought in tons of rock and had an elaborate rock staircase built that led down to the water from his place. Must have cost $20k or maybe way more. I don't know. What I do know is that when the Corps of Engineers found out about it, they fined the shit out of him and made him pay to have it all ripped out.Comment

I'm thinking this is a Corp of Engineer issue.Comment
