I bought a pontoon boat from a guy in Ms.
First thing I had to do was take the title to the trailer to a title/notary public. $188.50 in fees for a 4 year tag.

Then I had to go to Tangipahoa Parish tax office and get them to sign and stamp Form R-1331 from La Dept of Revenue. No parish taxes owed since it was bought from an individual.

I faxed that form to LDR and they gave me a total of how much state tax I had to pay. Which was $101. Paid it online and they emailed me the signed/stamped form the next day.
Took that form to WL&F office and had the boat registered in La. $91. In and out in less than 10 minutes.

No more boat trailer inspection tags so I'm good to go now.

You'll probably get much better answers on the outdoor board.

Didn't the legislature just pass some additional laws to make it an even bigger pain in the arse?

Starting in April you have to pay sales tax on private boat sales. It's fricking retarded.
