Norris Lake, TN — You've just bought your new lake house or property on Norris Lake... now what? Here's the information you need to apply for a boat dock permit on Norris Lake with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Congratulations on your new lake property! The TVA Act in 1933 was passed by Congress and requires that TVA approval be required before any construction activities can be carried out. This includes anything that affects navigation, flood control or public lands along TVA Lakes shoreline and the Tennessee River or its tributaries. As always, applying does not guarantee approval. Be aware, site specific conditions can impact the review and approval of your boat dock permit.

Applying for Dock Permit (Shoreline Construction Permits)

Minor construction projects include boat docks, peirs, boat houses, fences, steps, shoreline-based shelters and others. Major construction projects include commercial marinas, community docks,barge terminals and mooring cells, utility crossings, bridges, culverts, roads, wastewater discharges, water intakes and sewage outfalls, dredging, placement of fill, and others. Applications for dock permits are now accepted online. You can also contact TVA about any questions you may have regarding shoreline construction activities. Downloadable application for print are also available. The cost can range from $250 - $1000 for minor construction projects.
