New York State Boat Registration Surcharge

Re: New York State Boat Registration Surcharge

Not in this case. The previous owner had let the boat reg expire, so I had to pay for the full three years. The difference is the $18.75 surcharge that the local office didn't collect.

I don't think boat or car registration is prorated. You pay the full 2/3 years shot, and if you sell, you have to write to NY to get your balance back. Trailers are prorated and are yearly, starting on Jan 1. Depending on fishing conditions, I wait to around April for one and May/June for the other.

"The surcharge goes to a dedicated fund which supports improvements of vessel access and transient marina facilities.

Transient marina facilities??? Not sure what that is.

Ayuh,... Assume,..?? 'ell, you can Count on it...

The Dysfunctional government here in NY has Robbed every single Dedicated Fund they Ever created....
The Dedicated highway Fund of the 50s,...
Swept into the General Fund,.. That's Why we have to pass Bond Acts to pay for road repairs...

The Cost of the NYS Thruway was paid off Years ago,... Did the tollbooths come down,..??
Nope, the Thruway Authority has to "Buy" state asset's every couple of years to pay into,+ "Balance" the General Fund...
More Illegal borrowing by our Dysfunctional government....

A few years ago, ATV registrations Tripled,+ we were told this was for Trail Devolopment...
Before the ink was even dry on the bill, it was swept into the General Fund to pay down the deficit...
NO trails have been devoloped...

I'll give Patterson abit of credit though,... Atleast he uses the "C" word,...
Even if it Don't mean the same in NYS...
A "Cut" in funding in NYS merely means that dept. won't be getting ALL of their projected Increase in funding....


That's done by your local legislator,....
They intro a bill,+ maybe you'll see the Pork,... Maybe Not...

I would agree, thats how it works in NYS, but usually they wait a year or 2 before they find a way to raid the specialized fund.

BTW, I haven't seen this amount of typing from you in quite awhile. Must be the subject "Government and Taxes".
