A couple years ago I replaced all of the decking on my existing boathouse.  Shortly after I completed the project, an APCO boat sauntered up to my newly decked-out boathouse (fresh YellaWood tags and all) and posted a request that I stop in and visit the nearest APCO office in Dadeville, which I did.  I explained that I did not think that I needed a permit as all I did was replace the old decking and did not make any modifications to the existing structure.  The story I was given is that APCO wants to know EVERYTHING that goes on below the 491 mark, even if it is just ordinary repair and maintenance.  So, they said I needed to fill-out an application for the project that had already been completed, which I did and which was approved.  There was no charge for the permit and I was told that as long as it is routine maintenance/repair and no modifications are made to the existing structure, no fee is charged, even though a permit is still required.
