License Placement

Certificates of number expire December 31 at the end of each three-year period. No motorboat may be operated after December 31 without the registration being renewed.

A duplicate certificate will be issued by the county treasurer upon satisfactory proof of loss and payment of a $1 replacement fee plus $3 issuing fee.

Any person holding a valid certificate of number who changes his address shall, within 15 days, notify the Game and Parks Commission of the new address.

The owner shall furnish the Game and Parks Commission notice of transfer of all or any part of his interest, within 15 days of the effective date. If the transfer of part ownership does not affect the owner's right to operate the motorboat the transaction will not affect the certificate of number.

The owner shall notify the Game and Parks Commission of the destruction or abandonment of any vessel within 15 days, which will terminate the certificate of number.

Letters and numbers will be block figures at least three inches in height of contrasting color and visible for 100 feet.

Purchase of the letters and numbers except the validation sticker and the attachment to the motorboat are the responsibility of the owner.
