Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Lake Maintenance Easement
What are the consequences of building a ''permenant'' structure several inches inside of a designated Lake Maintenance easement?
We have a pool contractor who has built our pool 20 inches in the Lake Maintenane Easement. The South Broward Drainage District has verified this and says we will have a problem selling our home if the pool remains in the easement.

A recent case just came out in Texas, and was reported in the May 2002 Construction Law Digest regarding a simillar situation. There are additional facts which we will need to discuss. Feel free to contact me at no charge (305) 769-3000.
