What percent of Boat License fees and Boat prperty tax goes to the Ky. Department of Fish and Wildlife. I licensed a 18' jon boat and just the license was $50.00 not including tax. I then asked what a license was for a vehicle and was told the plate was $21.00. Something doesn't seem right with this picture.
They will get you at every turn. Even more so when it is a piece of outdoor equipment
Was the registration fee $50.00? If so, they charged you too much, unless the KYDFW haven't updated their web site.

And it’s not multi year either is it. That’s expensive for sure…
IT being 18 feet long would make it a $40.00 registration fee wouldn't it?Quote:

That's right & a few years ago( probably 5) the registration fee doubled according to my local clerks office. :ThumbsUpQuote:

$40 license and $10 clerk fee. If the money is going for continued improvement that is one thing I just would like to know where the money is going as I don't see that many improvements and when they do happen it generally is funded on a local level.Quote:

Licensing boat trailers will be next. Paying $21 for a vehicle you drive almost daily is one thing paying $50 for a boat most use less than once a month on average is a little steep.Quote:

Less than a dollar a day to have the privilege to drive your own bought & payed for vehicle. Not bad at all. :RoflQuote:

My new Excel Bay Pro 230 Elite is awaiting its' Suzuki 250SS that didn't arrive in time for me to get it before the Excel plant in Union City,TN shut down for the holidays. My CPA said it would be best for taxes to get the new boat paid for and registered in this same calendar year that I sold the Storm Cat. The certificates of origin for the boat and trailer were done. Since the engine isn't registered in KY, I had all necessary paperwork to get it done.
My garage looks like a marine dealership with all the boxes of new gear (and some old) that go on the new boat. Rickie and I await!
16' - 26' here in Ga. is $70 for 3 year registration. Over 26' and that price doubles.
