Hello Greg, I think you'd better check on those or any states residency requirements to register your boat. Thats how they know to go looking for you, by county, for the personal property tax. FWIW NC has/had no tax on a used boat sale. Regards, Carl Hibbard

In Virginia, the personal property tax on boats varies by county. Portsmouth, VA, for example (Mile 0 on the ICW) has the lowest. The tax rate is based on the AMOS Marine Blue Book low estimated trade-in value at the rate of $0.01 per $100.00. They obviously realize revenues from boaters spending far exceed the tax revenues. Perhaps that's the place to be on January 1.
