While these transactions are private, the City of Avalon plays specific roles both in facilitating information and in ensuring regulatory compliance once a sale is concluded.
To support this activity, the City of Avalon makes available a list detailing moorings that owners have put up for sale. The most current iteration of this "Avalon Moorings for Sale" list was published as of September 29, 2026.

Moorings within the Avalon Harbor area are characterized as privately owned. Owners who wish to offer their mooring for sale have the option to formally request its inclusion on the City of Avalon's web page. This mechanism allows owners to publicize their mooring for sale through a channel maintained by the City. The process for initiating such a listing ensures visibility for potential buyers within the community.
Owners intending to add their mooring to the "Avalon Moorings for Sale" list must contact the Avalon Harbor Department. This department manages requests from owners who seek to list their privately owned moorings for sale. Owners can initiate the process to have their mooring featured on the City’s official listing by contacting this department. This contact point assists private owners seeking to list their mooring equipment.
It is important for both sellers and prospective buyers to understand the City of Avalon’s specific role in these transactions. The City of Avalon explicitly states that it is not directly involved in the sale of privately owned mooring equipment. This means that the actual transaction of mooring equipment occurs solely between the private seller and the private buyer. The City’s function is administrative and regulatory, distinct from direct transactional participation.
Despite not being directly involved in the sale, the City of Avalon retains a regulatory function. When a privately owned mooring is sold, the City must be formally notified of the transaction. This notification is required to transfer the Revocable Mooring Permit to the new owner. Ensuring the proper transfer of this permit is essential for compliance with harbor regulations. This regulatory requirement underscores the City's role in managing permits within its harbor facilities. The transfer process, managed by the City, ensures that new mooring owners receive the necessary authorization. This oversight maintains the structure of the mooring system within Avalon Harbor.
