The current issue of Waterway Guide online referred to a new BoatUS site that compiles information about state taxes that might affect boaters, length of stay before tax liability attaches, tax rate, etc. Here's a link to the BoatUS site and the Waterway Guide short article: BoatUS - http://www.boatus.com/gov/states/ Waterway Guide article (Sept 13, 2012) - http://www.waterwayguide.com/newsupdate.php?area=1#1892 -- <><><><><><><><><><><><>Mozilla Thunderbird<><><><><><><><><><> Bob McLeran and Judy Young Manatee Cove Marina MV Sanderling Patrick Air Force Base DeFever 41 Trawler Melbourne, Florida Blog: http://mvsanderling.net/Blog Web: http://cruising.mvsanderling.net/

That's a great resource to compare State Excise, User and other boat taxes. Regrettably and perhaps unavoidably, the missing part are the local government (City and County) registration and property taxes. These can far outweigh the annual State boating taxes. It's often difficult to ferret-out that information because local government websites and laws and ordinances are often difficult to intepret. Of course, this issue is relevant only to those that have the luxury to live in one State and Local Government jurisdiction but can title and register their boat (and boat trailer) in another State and/or local government area. In the case that I'm familiar with, the local property tax is about five times as much as the annual State tax.

Maximum annual registration cost in Oklahoma is $150 and you can get a discount if you do three years at a time! The Excise tax is a one-time thing at purchase. * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** D C "Mac" Macdonald ** * Grand Lake & OKC - OK * ** AGLCA (#217) & USPS ** * * (no current boat) * * ** USAF & FAA, Retired ** ** Amateur Radio K2GKK ** * * k2gkk@hotmail.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > From: anthonyvanvugt@gmail.com > To: Bob@MVSanderling.net; great-loop@lists.trawlering.com > Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2012 11:01:33 -0400 > Subject: Re: GL: State sales/use tax information > > That's a great resource to compare State Excise, User and other boat taxes. > Regrettably and perhaps unavoidably, the missing part are the local > government (City and County) registration and property taxes.
