Buying a lake home on Old Hickory Lake in Mt. Juliet? Here is one thing that surprises a lot of buyers.

Buying a lake home on Old Hickory Lake in Mt. Juliet? Here is one thing that surprises a lot of buyers. The dock may stay with the house, but the Corps of Engineers permit does not. Shoreline permits on Old Hickory Lake are not transferable. After you close, you apply for a new permit in your name. That is why I ask the seller for a "realtor letter" from the Corps early. It shows the shoreline class next to the lot and flags any problems with the current permit. It is much better to learn that before you are under contract than after. Thinking about a lake home on the Mt. Juliet side or the Old Hickory side? Call and I will walk you through what to check first.
