_Florida vessel  registration increases July 1_

The  boating lifestyle will get a little more expensive in Florida  beginning 
July 1 with an increase in vessel registration fees.  
Gov. Charlie Crist signed S.B. 1286 this Tuesday (June 10), which  provided 
for the increase as well as a review of the fees every five  years. It’s been 
at least 10 years since the last  increase. 
'New Fee  Schedule per year
A-1 – less than 12 feet and motorized canoes will  go from $3.50 to $5.50.
A-2 – 12 to less than 16 feet will go from  $10.50 to $16.25. The county of 
registration is eligible for  $2.85.
Class 1 – 16 to less than 26 feet will go from $18.50 to  $28.75. The county 
of registration is eligible for $8.85.
Class 2 –  26 to less than 40 feet will go from $50.50 to $78.25. The county 
of  registration is eligible for 32.85.
Class 3 – 40 to less than 65  feet will go from $82.50 to $78.25. The county 
of registration is  eligible for $56.85.
Class 4 – 65 feet to less than 110 feet will  go from $98.50 to $152.75. The 
county of registration is eligible for  $68.85.
Class 5 – 110 feet or more will go from $122.50 to $189.75.  The country of 
registration is eligible for  $86.85. 
Dealer  registration go from $16.50 to $25.50. There is still an exemption 
for  nonprofits and antique vessels.
The fees do not include service  fees and some counties require additional 
fees above and beyond what  they get from the state. The current increase adds 
up to about 55  percent. Fees will be adjusted every five years according to 
the  Consumer Pricing Index. 
I have heard from a tax collecting agency  that boat owners up for renewal in 
June, July, August or September can  save a few dollars and pay the old 
registration fee by renewing before  July 1. It’s definitely worth checking out.
