NLCBC Dock & Shoreline Construction Request Form

This form applies only to lakefront Property Owners within the Norris Lake, GA community who intend to perform ANY work on their existing dock, seawall, or other shoreline structures, including repairs, maintenance, replacements, modifications, or new construction.

All proposed work, regardless of size or scope, requires prior written approval from NLCBC before work may begin. This process helps ensure that shoreline projects protect the health, safety, and environmental integrity of Norris Lake.

The next scheduled lowering of Norris Lake is tentatively planned for January 4–17, 2027, providing lakefront Property Owners an opportunity to complete approved dock, seawall, and shoreline maintenance while water levels are reduced.

IMPORTANT: These dates are tentative and subject to change based on weather conditions, maintenance needs, or other reasons approved by the NLCBC Board and/or appropriate Committees. The lowering period may be shortened, extended, postponed, or otherwise adjusted as necessary. We will continue to keep the community informed via Weekly Announcements as the scheduled dates approach.

If you plan to perform work during the lake lowering, please submit your completed request well in advance, preferably a minimum of 30 days before your anticipated project start date, to allow sufficient time for review, any necessary feedback or revisions, and/or approval. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval or that the lake lowering will occur on the originally anticipated dates.

1. Download the fillable PDF displayed below and complete all applicable sections. Save the completed document to your device.

You must either email or physically deliver your completed request for review.

Completed requests will be forwarded to the Planning & Development Committee's Lake & Watershed Sub-Committee for review and recommendation to the NLCBC Board of Directors, which has final approval authority.

NLCBC aims to review complete requests within 30 days of receipt, although additional documentation, permitting requirements, or other circumstances may extend this timeframe. 

No work may begin until written approval has been received.
