Floating House for Sale $155,000 in Barkley Sound

What are the rules with keeping it somewhere on the water with regards to government agencies etc? Does it cost money to keep it afloat where it is? If so how much? Any inspection stuff need to be done on it by government stuff in order to keep it every year? I have no idea how any of this works but it seems pretty interesting. I saw a west coast fishing t.v. show a couple years ago where they were staying at one of the guys floating cabin around that area and it looked pretty sweet.

Also how does it work with toilet/waste control? Is it stored in tanks then pumped out into a boat that picks it up? I know you can't be dumping it into the sound and I've seen floating lodges where it's stored in tanks then shipped out etc..

All the info you can give would be helpful. The more transparent with how this all works will probably help you get a deal done too.

There is a moratorium on crown land leases for float cabins in BC, there has been for many years.

If you think you can tie that up just anywhere you will be forced to remove it.

Great advice, I own a floating cabin. Ours is registered and part of the small number of sites that presently fall under that moratorium. The whole lease thing fell apart once FN land claims process started, and since then we are on hold. Every year we get a letter and "fine" to pay as a form of the gov't receiving a lease payment, but not appearing to give any form of title or lease. We also pay property tax. I have heard that for those who risk just anchoring their cabins and hoping for the best, the gov't eventually catches up with them. Would recommend whomever is considering purchase does their homework to find a suitable site that is presently registered before even considering a purchase.

155 members invest a g or so I mean, I like where this is going
 
The first AGM of the SFbc Clubhouse Association (SFCASS) would be legendary.

Subsequent meetings would have an Agenda and be run by Wives, SOs, Mothers, and Sisters.

First Item of business at that meeting would be the rescinding of the prior year's motion to install a fish ladder in lieu of a staircase to the Roof Top Deck.
