The Town of Mount Desert now offers Boat Registration Renewal Online Service (see under the "Residents" button for a direct link)
This online service allows you to register your Boat (vessel) with the State of Maine. Following your transaction, you will receive a temporary registration form to print for immediate use. Your official registration and stickers will arrive at the shipping address specified within ten business days.
Boat registrations are valid from January 1 through December 31.
Fees
Fees vary depending on the length, model year, use, and horsepower of the boat (vessel) being registered. This service allows you to pay both state registration fees and municipal excise tax fees in one transaction. Before submitting payment, you will have the opportunity to review all fees.
