Palm Beach County is one step closer to expanding a local law that bans floating structures from anchoring in county waters, with some exceptions.
If passed, an update to the Cindy DeFilippo Floating Structure Ordinance will apply to floating structures anchoring or mooring in all waters within the county, including those under the jurisdiction of a city or town.
County commissioners will take a final vote on June 15.
A floating structure isn’t a boat or other watercraft, which the state defines as a “vessel” and requires registration.
