Just received my renewal and I only have to pay $86 on my non-resident tags for my boat. Last year I had to pay $200 for my sea doo jet boat and it was registered in Cali. Woo Hooo so happy about registering in AZ. Anyone who has a boat and uses it in AZ often should register it there. I would have paid $500 in CA tags if I would have registered here. More money for more Havasu trips!!!:D

I am building a new carrera and already sent away for my AZ tags. They told me that legaly it has to be registered in AZ since that is where iy is going to be used. Not only are the fee's cheaper but I live in orange county and would also get hit with a 1 and a half percent unsecured property tax bill. Good luck

You don't need a house in AZ or any state to register the boat there. Coast Guard regs state the boat shall be registered in the state of primary use.

Exactly!!!
The boat is supposed to stay out of Ca. for 90 days after delivery to avoid ca sales tax if you are doing an out of state delivery. Just an fyi.

Getting my boat registered in Oregon. No sales tax. registration is $25 for 2 years. But I've lived here a long time and I am used to the rain and 75 days of "summer". I would gladly pay a few hundred more for 6 months of "summer".

Remember folks...to avoid paying the annual property tax on your AZ registered boat...the boat MUST be 1) Out of California on January 1st of each year and 2) It must be predominantly moored or stored outside CA. You can't avoid the property tax legally if you're keeping the boat in CA and using it in AZ.
The marinas and storage facilities are supposed to send the DMV the numbers of all boats stored within them. Also, each county has enforcement officers that go to the marinas and storage facilities looking for registration numbers of boats that are stored within the boundaries of the counties.
