Privately owned moorings within the Avalon Harbor area are currently available for purchase directly from their respective owners. The City of Avalon provides a public service by maintaining and publishing a list of these for-sale moorings. The most recently updated version of this list was current as of September 29, 2026, offering interested parties a central resource for identifying available mooring opportunities.
For current mooring owners in the Avalon Harbor area who wish to sell their private mooring, a process is in place to facilitate its listing. Owners may submit a request to the City of Avalon to have their mooring included on the official "Avalon Moorings for Sale" list, which is hosted on the City's web page. To initiate this process and add a mooring to the publicly accessible inventory, owners are advised to contact the Avalon Harbor Department. This department is responsible for managing the listing requests and ensuring the information is made available to potential buyers.
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 actual sale of privately owned mooring equipment. This means that the negotiation of terms, pricing, and the final exchange of ownership for the physical mooring apparatus remain solely between the private seller and the buyer. The City acts as a facilitator for information dissemination through its listing service rather than a party to the commercial transaction itself.
However, despite not being directly involved in the sale of the physical equipment, the City of Avalon plays a critical administrative role once a sale has been agreed upon. It is a mandatory requirement that the City be notified promptly when a privately owned mooring is sold. This notification is essential for the official transfer of the Revocable Mooring Permit to the new owner. Without this formal notification and subsequent transfer, the new owner would not possess the necessary authorization to utilize the mooring space in Avalon Harbor. This process ensures proper regulatory oversight and maintains accurate records for all mooring permits within the harbor jurisdiction.
