Hi,

I would like to live on a houseboat for as much of the time as possible,
and
live in the state of GA. People have told me several different things
regarding
how much time a person can live on their boat, so as yet I don't know what
the truth is. Can anyone tell me where to find out what the regulations
really
are?

I don't know that there are state regulations about this matter, but the
marina, if you're in one, and the Corps of Engineers, if you're on one of
their lakes, may have their own rules.

Here on Lanier, I personally knew someone who lived on his trawler-style
houseboat year round in Bald Ridge Marina. This was in the days of
all-wired telephone communication, too, so he was conitinuously hooked up to
power and phone. How he got away with it, I don't know. The Corps has a
not-more-than-2weeks-continuous-occupancy rule, mostly to make living aboard
difficult...

Don't know that this answers the question - may just create more!

However, if you're on a Corps lake, I'd go to the Corps' website for info.
If you're going to be in a marina, perhaps the same, or just a phone call.
For the state, it's ga.gov sites...

PS Peggie might know - she's a prior marina user on Lanier...
