Bay River Houseboats

What Florida State regulations apply to house boats, ie: where they can be moored, etc?

I live in Cape Coral Florida. May I rent dock space for the summer in a residential area from a home owner and live on my house boat? Of course I would have a porta potty which I would dump responsibily. Who do I contact to ascertain the details and regulations? Which agencies?

1. Check out the web site of Florida Marine Sewage Discharge Regulations OR probably dump anywhere like I bet a lot of people do....UGH!
2. The applicable laws can be found here: http://www.capecoral.net/citydept/cityclrk/Code%20Ch.%209-Sanitation.pdf Hope this helps!
