Watercraft Titling & Registration

In the State of South Carolina, the law requires all motorized boats and watercraft, sailboats, and outboard motors five horsepower and greater to be titled. All watercraft that use mechanized propulsion must also be registered.  By law we must have your completed application and all other required documents, which vary by purchase or selling situation, to title and/or register your watercraft and outboard motor. 


If you are selling a boat and / or motor in South Carolina:

You must be the titled owner. If you are not listed as the titled owner, you must complete the application process with SCDNR prior to the sale.


If you have purchased a boat or motor that has ever been titled and / or registered in South Carolina:

  • Submit a paid property tax receipt in your name or notice from your county that no taxes are due along with your application and other supporting documents. 
  • You may operate your boat for up to 60 days from date of sale with a copy of your bill of sale and temporary certificate of number. 

If you have purchased a boat or motor out-of-state or from a SCDNR Permitted Marine Dealer:

  • Property taxes will be billed by your county after being titled and / or registered with SCDNR. 
  • You may operate your boat for up to 60 days from date of sale with a copy of your bill of sale and temporary certificate of number.  
  • If you have any questions about boat titling and registration, please visit our website or contact SCDNR at 803-734-4367. 
  • If you have questions about your property taxes, please contact your county tax office.
