    Boat registration fees!

    Got my annual registration bill and it jumped to $142. 23 for the little stickers, and all the rest is taxes, including $59 for Warren county schools. WTF does my boat have to do with the school system?

    Any of y'all in Warren county with newer boats (mine's a 2000 TR21/225 opti) can look forward to your stickers costing you way more.

    Says:
    Tax Jurisdiction
    State $41.24
    General $14.83 (interesting category there)
    Library $3.94
    Health $1.83 (for the rubber glove when I had my physical?)
    Ext Service $.55 (huh?)
    Co School $49.91

    Doesn't say anything about property tax. I do pay a sizable chunk of property tax on my house, maybe you have your taxes mixed up.

    Federal income tax, state income tax, local income tax, sales tax, personal property tax, gasoline tax, sin taxes on beer and cigars. Take your pick, plenty more where those come from.

    Jim,
    I don't have Library tax but I do pay a Transit Authority tax on my boat registration. That was voted in so that all of us who own homes and have toys can pay for the local bus service that can't seem to maintain there vehicles so they passed this tax on us wealthy folks.

    Wonder how many of us tax payers actually use that service? I bet it wouldn't cost as much to maintain if they used smaller buses since I usually see about 5 people on those things and it looks like it would how 10 times that much.

    Not an expert on taxes...guess I should try and know more. I was tought in school, that property taxes...such as land..house...cars...boats, and the such... pays for our State Parks and Rec. Dept. and a % goes to schools. Just from what I reacall...just trying to keep it simple.
