All watercraft operated on Heritage Lake must be the personal property of a property owner of the Heritage Lake Property Owners’ Association, Inc. Please make certain you read and understand the policy on GUEST OPERATORS.
Fees for Registration stickers are:
These stickers must be purchased at the
Marina. All stickers must be applied to powercraft at the time of registration. This means all powercraft
must be presented for registration. Property Owner must pay
a registration fee for each watercraft to be operated within the
development. All registrants shall be required to verify by signature
that they have received and read a copy of the current Lake Rules and
that they accept full responsibility to comply with the Lake Rules and
accept liability for any damages caused by registrant’s boat. Any attempt to defraud
the Association by misrepresenting proper ownership or previous
registration shall result in forfeiture of all lake usage rights and
HLPOA rights for a period of thirty (30) days and a fine of $500
assessed against the Property Owner and his associated lot(s). Boats
not registered at Heritage Lake last year. The
Property Owner must show a current membership card, driver’s license,
and proof of boat ownership. All Powercraft owners must show a
certificate of title, state registration card, current excise tax
receipt or the certificate of insurance showing the VIN number in the
property owner’s name. Non-motorized watercraft registration does not
require proof of ownership.
Procedure for Titling Watercraft: Call your local auto license branch,
request an application for title only (not registration) and any special
instructions. After you receive, fill out, and return the application.
Your title should arrive within three weeks. A
properly registered watercraft must display the annual sticker on both
sides of the bow and 3” numbers of contrasting color indicating
property owner’s Heritage Lake address also on both sides of the
craft near the stern (i.e. Victory Hill, Lot 299— VH299; Mill Springs,
Lot 130—MS130). For personal watercraft, the Heritage Lake address
shall be on the front cowling on both sides where it will be
clearly visible during normal operation. No watercraft shall display an
annual sticker until lot numbers are on the boat. All
boat trailers must display a trailer sticker. It will be issued at
the time of boat registration. It is to be placed 12” behind
the trailer hitch on the right side. NO trailer will be allowed
to park on common areas without a current year trailer sticker.
Misuse of a watercraft registration
sticker includes but is not limited to the placing of a non-motorized
sticker on a powercraft or the transfer of a sticker to any other
watercraft which will result in the suspension of the watercraft
registration and boating privileges for that offender’s property,
including any secondary owners, for 30 days and a $250 fine. The Property owner must show a current POA membership card, driver’s license and boat registration paid receipt. The Property Owner’s boat must be present, if motorized, with last year’s registration documentation either attached to the boat or in the owner’s possession. Upon verification that the Property Owner’s boat was registered last year, the new boat registration for the current year will be issued.
