Is the subject property ownership go to the waterline or does it include the tidelands? Is there a survey of the tidelands? Can shellfish be harvested? Are the tidelands leased? If yes, then by whom, duration of lease, how is the lease structured, how and when will you receive funds, or the responsibilities are Leasor. Does a tribe or someone else have the right to harvest shellfish on the tidelands? What are the County, Department of Ecology, Department of Health, State and sometimes Federal rules and regulations regarding ownership of a waterfront property? What type of easements are on the property, and do they give permission for someone to come in and work on the property? How will rules and regulations affect me now or in the future. Are dogs allowed on the tidelands? Depending on the answers to these questions, as a seller, this might mean your waterfront is more valuable, or less. As a buyer, it pays to know the answers to these questions.
