I just received my boat registration for Arizona and immediately thought WTF!
First of all, this is a simple 1990 Ultra Day Cruiser that I paid $5800 about 18 months ago. This is not a luxury boat or high dollar boat by any means! The Renewal Fee was a modest $52.50 for the year. However, the Nonresident Boating Safety Infrastructure Fee (NBSIF) is $336.00!!!! It's safe to say I'm bringing this registration back to California!
Nonresident Boating Safety Infrastructure Fee (NBSIF)
Please note that nonresidents of this state must pay a Nonresident Boating Safety Infrastructure Fee and possess proof of payment of the fee before mooring, anchoring or operating the watercraft on the waterways of this State. This additional surcharge is used for boating education, law enforcement, emergency response, improvements to public launch facilities and the placement of navigational aids.
A member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is on active duty and stationed in this state for a period of at least thirty (30) days immediately before applying for watercraft registration, or who is stationed in another state or country and who lists this State as that member’s home of record is exempt from the requirement to pay the Nonresident Boating Safety Infrastructure Fee.
