Actually the state owns the space. The town regulates its use via permitting. There is no legal ownership by the town, a resident, or non resident. Mooring owners (those that own mooring tackle) receive permits to occupy the space designated by the town in exchange for payment. I was a Bristol resident for 27 years, 15 years of which I had a mooring in the harbor. I moved to Warren 16 years ago, and pay the out of town rate. There is a discount for being a resident of Bristol. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but no tax dollars subsidize the harbor or its management.
