BTW how long can an out of state boat remain in FL before it is subject
to FL tax ? I was thinking it was 90 days, but perhaps that is not
correct.


You can stay longer as I recall as long as you are having work done in a
yard that meets certain criteria. And there is some paper work that you
and the yard must fill out.

I visited the Dept of Trans in FL about 2 weeks ago and they told me 30
days. So I registered and bought the sticker.

If you buy a boat in Florida, I think you have 30 days (after you get
out of the yard where you are having repairs etc done) to get out of
the state and must stay out a year in order to avoid the sales tax.
If you just come to Florida from some other state where you have the
boat registered and have paid taxes etc there, then you have 90 days
before you have to register in Florida.

Note: The folks at the DMV or Department of Transportation or
whatever they call it in Florida are notorious around the country for
not knowing the correct answers to questions. There are a lot of them
and they don't always get the word. My daughter who was 21 years old
took the documents up to register her truck, and they told her she had
to get her father's signature. (She does look younger.) She did that
because she was still living at home, but when she went back the next
person she talked to asked her what in the world she had done that for
- of course she didn't have to have her father's signature after she
was an adult.

A H FOSTER,

I am curious. Does "Vacuum Resources" mean anything to you?

Check your Email.

Thanks me and AH Foster.
I'll call tomorrow.
I'm recollecting my trip of four years ago; I believe I was in FL in excess
of 30 days w/o having to register, and I think I would have been certain
that I need not.
I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

There are two contacts who will have the answer about any tax issues WRT
boats:

, , Jimmy Kalfas, the
"resolution" guy, and Charles Martin, the "enforcement" guy (Jimmy used to
have his job).



Drop them a line; they're unfailingly helpful and courteous...

Thanks.
I believe I have the right info now.
I did contact the FL yesterday, and sfter the first guy looked it up and
came back with 20 days maximum ( not including time in a repair facility), I
called back again and this time was told what Rosalie has reported. If it is
an out of state boat, you only need to register if the boat remains longer
than 90 days. And to register means only that, something like $80 state fee,
and possibly a similar local fee. No sales tax.
