Boat Registration and Title Information
The Delaware County Recorder has the responsibility of registering and titling
vessels of Delaware County residents and non-residents if the vessel is
principally used in Delaware County.
Boat registrations expire on April 30th, every three years starting in 2007. Boat
fees are based on the length of the boat. All boats 17 feet and longer require a
title (except canoes and kayaks).
Items needed when transferring a boat:
