League City live-aboards, or people who live on their boats, now face easier permit requirements but stricter rules against dumping after the city recently amended its 2025 ordinance requiring permits and inspections for live-aboards.
The full story
League City City Council voted 7-1 at its May 12 meeting to amend the ordinance to:
- Increase the cap from 10 to 15 days out of the month someone can live on their boat without needing a permit
- Live-aboards can reapply for a permit sooner after a denied application
- Strengthen anti-dumping rules and guidelines
- Require marina operators to maintain working pump-out stations
Mayor Nick Long said the request to have working pump-out stations came directly from live-aboards themselves.
