We are in the process of planning an overdue re-construction of our dock, and had some interesting discoveries when we received word of what was actually permitted on our property.

In a nut shell, our dock has several "additions" which appear to have been added over time, without proper permitting. As best we can tell, they have been there for nearly 20 years, well before we purchased the property approximately 5 years ago.

We are in the process of returning the dock to its approved state, prior to starting any new permit applications, but are curious what the potential repercussions could be? Is there any point where the structure becomes grandfathered?

Thanks in advance!
