Here are some resources that may be of interest to you, regardless of whether you are buying or selling a home in the Lake Wedowee area!
Permits for Shoreline Work
Alabama Power regulates the construction and maintenance of shoreline structures at Lake Wedowee. A permit is required for any new structures or maintenance of structures that are located at or below the 800-foot level on the lake. Examples of these types of structures include piers, landings, boat docks, boathouses, boat ramps, gazebos, bank stabilization, dredging, landscape plantings, and re-grading. You can review a list of all of the regulations, terms and conditions for shoreline work by reviewing the General Guidelines for Residential Shoreline Permitting document at the Alabama Power Shoreline Management website, or call the Alabama Power Shoreline Management Office at (256) 396-5093 for more information.
