Docks and Mooring Structures
Learn about lakeshore development requirements, Temporary Field Authorizations, and the forms needed for dock and shoreline projects.
Lakeshore Development
Property development is increasing on Alberta’s lakeshores. However, shoreland development can have cumulative, detrimental effects on lakes and lakeshore areas.
To help lessen these effects, an Alberta Government Temporary Field Authorization (TFA) is required before placing a mooring structure (such as a dock) for personal recreational use in Crown-owned bed and shore for longer than 14 days.
This is an Alberta Government requirement. The County cannot advise individuals on what the Province will require or approve.
If you have questions regarding a client ID application or the Temporary Field Authorization process or application, please call Alberta Environment and Protected Areas at 780-623-5279.
Municipal Letter of Consent
The County can provide a Municipal Letter of Consent in order for you to acquire a permit for a mooring structure.
This request is handled through the County’s Planning & Development department and comes with an associated fee, as noted in the application form.
