Boat Registration

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:

 Motorized boat registration fee $225.00

 

 Non-motorized boat registration fee $25.00

 

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.

 

Boats registered at Heritage Lake last year.

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.
