Can anyone tell me what states require registration of, or otherwise tax, canoes and kayaks? Texas is proposing to do so, and those of us affected are gearing up to fight it. See the web page discussing the issue. www.huntnfishtexas.com/hnft14.htm/ Thanks.

In Pennsylvania, there is a rule that says to use State waters, you have to get a boat licence, no matter what kind of boat you have. I think it's about $10 per boat (Glenn?) but I don't remember for sure. If you're paddling on private waters you don't have to have it.

Georgia does not have a license or tax for canoes or kayaks. Good thing, or I'd have to pay it many times.

Regarding PA, you are thinking of the $10 annual launch permit for state parks. There isn't a licensing requirement for canoes and kayaks. However, to use any fish commission facilities (some lakes and launch sites), you do need to license your canoe or kayak. This isn't a big deal if you bought the boat in Pennsylvania, however, they will force you to pay state sales tax on any boat purchased out of state. I have no idea how long the sales tax requirement remains in effect and what this means to people who moved into the state from other places, though.

No. They will levy the PA sales tax on your boat if you cannot demonstrate that you paid a state sales tax where you reside. I live in NJ and I paid the tax there or in Florida where I bought one. They cannot tax again. They are satisfied if you paid the tax Somewhere. I also bought one boat in Delaware, which has no sales tax. They did not reguire that I pay it to them. Supposedly (I haven.t tested it) the F&G Registration supercedes DCNR stickers required for state parks, and also for county level parks.

As in another message, no, it is not a license it is registration. For Each Boat!!! I would have been happier if it had been a license... probably cheaper because it would be me rather than the boats that would have been registered (and paid for). PAF&B has various rationalizations why this should be so. Only PAF&B believes them. It's $10 for two years. Initially there could be a $2 handling fee if you go through a county court or directly with the Commission. BEWARE!!! F&B allows their agents, e.g. boat marinas and supply stores, to charge a handlling fee but do not limit it in any way. I have heard of people paying up to $25 for this,,,, JP *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
