Boat Registration


Must bring a Bill of Sale, an existing State Boat Registration would be helpful. State sales tax is 7% of the purchase price. For purchases in excess of $1,600, an additional State Tax of 2.75% is added up to a maximum of $44 per item. Local sales tax is 2.25% and is capped at $36.00. This tax procedure is only for boats transferred by individuals. Dealers coordinate registration, etc., when sale is made by their business.
