So today after owning Carpe Diem for five years and paying county personal property tax at a rate of 1.25% of market value annually in the county we live in and keep the boat, I get a tax assessor form to fil out from the neighboring Napa County. It says right on the form that they got my info from the USCG Documentation system. We do have Napa as the hailing port only because we love Napa Valley wines and we did not want to have Suisun City as the hailing port when we bought the boat. The Solano County assessor gets slip and boat info from the harbor master each year on Jan 1st. I guess Napa is getting creative in looking for boats to tax that are not berthed in reporting marinas. Anyone else been tracked down like this? I just need to fill out the form and tell them that the boat is berthed in Solano and taxes are paid there.
