How do they access your personal property taxes? Do they go by the price you paid for the boat/motor without all the goodies you add? Do they have some MSRV book of boats and motors? Just curious.

They go by the blue book value of each, then the tax rate of those values. Last two years Oburg county charged me for the Boat and motor on one bill and then a separate bill for just the motor. I had to take my tax bills to a local dealer to get an appraisal for them to get it right. This year my tax bill looks right.

Thanks…I will make sure I check that out. I don’t remember getting charged for both on the same bill when I had my last boat.

I didn’t know that’s what happened, just thought it was extremely high. Took it to the auditor’s office and they said to get it appraised by a dealer. It really helped out.
