In 2022, there were more than 631,500 registered boats in the state, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

ODNR estimates that 241,993 boats are not registered in the state.

“As the only watercraft registration location in Montgomery County, we register almost every type of vessel except sailboards, paddleboards, belly boats, float tubes, kiteboards, and lifeboats,” Auto Title Division Chief Deputy Marquis Sansom said. “Registrations expire every three years on March 1, but boats must only be registered once on the water.”
