Default Florida Boat Registration Question

YES.... BUT did you pay 6% sales tax already in Mass? If not, get
ready to pay the balance (or all 6%) to the state of Florida. Most
part timers try to register in a state that has no boat sales tax BUT,
that only allows you a few months a year of Florida boating. If you
bought it here, you only have a couple weeks to get out of Florida or
you pay the 6% tax.

We love your money... bring it on down so we can keep our state income
tax free

Can someone whose full time residence is in MA register a boat in Florida?

I know I can get the info tomorrow from the State but the sale of a friends
boat hinges on the answer to above.

Thanks for any info.



I'm a full time Virginia resident but have my boat registered in Maryland.
Here it depends on where the boat is kept. Have you checked with the
Florida folks?
