There are approximately 167 abutting dock sites for homes on Commons lakeshore property. These dock holders provide and maintain their own docks and these dock sites are transferable with the property.
The dock applicant must be the resident of the abutting home. Landlords, whether or not they live in the City of Mound, can’t apply for a dock site for abutting property they own and rent out in the City of Mound. The renter of the property must apply in his/her name and proof of residence is required when applying. Boats listed on the application must be in the renter’s name.
Renewal applications for current dock holders are mailed out on December 31. The applications must be completed and either submitted to City Hall or US Post Office postmarked by the last day in February to avoid paying a late fee. If you don’t receive an application however, it is your responsibility to make sure an application is completed and submitted by the deadline stated above.
New abutting residents should come into City Hall and complete the dock application when they move into their home.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Boat size and dock configuration must be prior approved by the dock program administration – Size can be prohibitory.
No dock license shall be issued to any applicant with past due property taxes, civil penalties related to Dock Program and any other delinquent fees or penalties related to the Dock Program, municipal utility fees, including but not limited to water and sewer bills, and penalties and interest thereon. If said past due obligations are not paid by April 15th of the license year, all dock/slip rights will be revoked immediately.
