Oregon Boat Registration Fee Calculator
In Oregon, boat registration is handled by the Oregon State Marine Board and renews every 2 years. The fee is based on boat length — from $79.4 for the smallest class up to $246 for the largest per cycle. Non-motorized craft like kayaks and canoes are generally exempt (check local rules for sailboats). Boats with motors — including trolling motors on otherwise unpowered craft — almost always require registration.
