To answer the original tax question. In some communities (Alton), you do get taxed separately for your dock/breakwater if it is permanent.

I spoke with DES recently and they do not necessarily want permanent docks, but will allow them. Something to keep in mind is that permanent docks can typically only be 30-ft in length 6-ft wide, unless grandfathered. Even a U-shaped dock can only be 12-ft wide in the middle berth and then 30-ft long on each finger. A crank-up style dock can be 40-ft long on each finger.

We are going with Tobin at Ambrose marine to construct ours, but he is 18 months out right now, so it'll be a bit of a wait.

NHDES is 37-40 days out on permit reviews right now too, so get those in early if you need one.
