Assigned

slip ownership is typically associated with a community dock that has boat slips assigned to each lot or residence in the neighborhood. Slips are typically attached to a master parcel (lot). The boat slip USUALLY has to convey simultaneously when the master property is sold. The boat slip typically has a combined deed with the master property and the deed specifies which slip number is owned by the lot owner. (Assigned slip example: Gray Gables and Edgewater communities off Airlie Road, *Turtle Hall, *Charleston Landing at Windy Hills) *unless the property has its own private pier and dock
Certificate

Ownership is in the form of a "Certificate of Membership" rather than a deed. The Membership Certificate specifies which boat slip the holder is entitled to use. The member may typically sell the certificate to another party or back to the Membership at Large, which in effect transfers or conveys the slip to another party. (Membership Certificate boat slip examples: Bradley Creek Marina & Boataminium, Atlantic Yacht Club) Membership Certificates are not considered real property although they control the use of the boat slip.
