Not sure how much sales tax and registration fees apply in Texas when you buy a used boat from a private seller ? Any Texans out there ? <BR> <BR>Thanks

I bought my boat from a private party in Dallas (I live in San Antonio) and I think I had to pay about 6.5% sales tax. The boat was already registered so they charged me a minimal fee to transfer it into my name (like around $10-20 maybe?) Sorry, can't be much more help.

Sales tax on a boat will be 6.125% of the selling price. Many people are less than honest when filling out the papers as far as what the selling price was. <BR> <BR>Take that fwiw. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>If it's already registered, it's a very nominal transfer free. <BR> <BR>Here's all the forms, info, etc. <a href="http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/boat/" target="_blank">http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/boat/</a>

Hey Chris- <BR>I'm sending you an email. <BR>Just got back from Medina today; can you say RAIN! <BR>Sam <BR>

Close - it's 6.25% tax and $50.00 registration every other year for boats over 16ft. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by mx21 on March 27, 2005)
