Overview
A lease, easement, or other form of proprietary consent is required for all private uses of state-owned lands, including state-owned uplands and lands submerged beneath navigable waters.
Florida takes an expansive view of state ownership of lakes, streams, creeks and other water bodies. Consequently, professional assistance is frequently needed to assess the break point between private property and public lands. Hopping Green & Sams has decades of experience determining when and what type of proprietary approvals are needed. This experience includes appearances before the Governor and Cabinet and the Acquisition and Restoration Council to secure approvals. Over the years, our firm’s experience in this area has resulted in the issuance of a variety of proprietary authorizations.
