Washington County boat owners need to registered with the Recorder’s Office by the end of the month. Jo Greiner with the Washington Recorders Office says those who don’t get their required renewal by April 30 will be assessed a $5 late fee. Greiner adds boat fees are regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources based on the length of the vessel and the registration will last three years.

The Washington Recorders office is currently accepting annual registrations for expired all terrain vehicles (ATV) and snowmobiles with a $5 late fee. Owners are encouraged to register their boats, ATVs and snowmobiles in order to obtain Iowa DNR proof of ownership titles and the appropriate user registrations.

Residents who have question are asked to contact the Washington County Recorder’s office at 319-653-7727.
