Unlike the state of
California and Virginia (and many others I suspect) you do not have to pay property
taxes when you buy a
boat (or a car for that matter).. In those two states, they tax you to death..
I didn't see anyone mention it, in
Texas you have to pay a
registration fee ($110.00) every 2 years.. Unlike the original poster, if you buy a
boat already registered in
Texas, but with more than 90 days from when the
current registration expires, you do not have to pay this fee.. That is until you need to re-new your registration (and get the new stickers).. Fortunately, the stickers are good for 2 years.. flk k
