The decals should be placed to the right of the Indiana registration number on the watercraft. Decals can now be issued at the license branch when watercraft is processed. The registration fee is a one time fee charged by the Bureau at the time of a newly purchased watercraft. The fee is based on the length of the watercraft. The excise tax fee is computed to the age and manufacture's price of the watercraft when new.
Excise tax is collected annually when the customer's registration expires.
The DNR fee is waived if the registrant is due to pay the registration fee in the current year or on a transfer or new. This fee will go to the DNR general fund.
