## Text

(1) What is the length of a vessel registration period? The vessel registration period is July 1 of the current year through June 30 of the following year for purposes of RCW 88.02.050 .
Any vessels registered for the first time in Washington will be assessed the registration fee for the registration period in which the vessel is registered. In addition, excise tax in the amount prescribed in chapter 82.49 RCW will be assessed through the current registration period.
(2) How will my excise tax be calculated if I purchase or transfer a vessel in a month other than July? When registering a vessel in Washington for the first time and assigning a registration period of fewer than twelve months or transferring ownership of a vessel for which the registration has expired, the annual excise tax shall be reduced by one-twelfth for each full month of the registration period you did not own or possess the vessel. The registration fee will not be reduced. Excise tax on renewals will be assessed twelve months of excise tax.
