Each renewal notice is unique to the owner and their boat. Boaters have three options to renew. The fastest option is online using the Marine Board’s online store. After completing the transaction, boaters can print a temporary permit and go boating right away. There is no trans- action fee when using a credit or debit card online. Other options include mailing the payment and coupon to the Marine Board or visiting a local registration agent, who will issue a temporary per- mit for an additional fee. Other online services include: • Apply for a Boater Education Card or Replacement Card • Purchase Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Permits for nonmotorized boats • Apply for the boat’s Certificate of NED HICKSON/SIUSLAW NEWS Title or a Replacement Title • Register a new boat • Register or renew as an Outfitter or Guide • Apply for a Charter Boat license The cost to register a motorboat or sailboat 12 feet or longer is $4.50 per foot, rounded to the highest foot, plus a $5 aquatic invasive species fee. The Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention fund pays for inspection stations, decontamination equipment, inspectors, signage and education materials. The average boat length in Oregon is 16 feet, so the two-year reg- istration costs $77 (including AIS fee). The Marine Board is funded entire- ly by motorized boat and sailboat registrations, motorboat fuel tax and receives federal funding to support services to boaters. Nearly .86 cents of every dollar are returned to boaters in the form of law enforcement services, boat ramps, restrooms (floating and land-based), parking, boarding floats, facilities engineering/design services and boating education outreach.
