Recorders Office Information

To register a new boat, snowmobile or ATV you must have proof of sales tax paid and a MCO (Manufacturers Certificate of Origin) or MSO (Manufacturers Statement of Origin).

All boat registrations expire April 30th every 3 yrs. The fees for new and renewal registrations for boats are based on the length of the boat. A $5.00 penalty is added to the fee for any expired registrations. Contact the Recorder’s office for prices.
