cost of invasive species sticker in idaho
| Anybody who wants to launch a boat in Idaho waters will have to buy an Idaho Invasive Species Fund sticker. A new state law requires the owner of any boat and any non-motorized vessel - canoe, kayak, raft, drift boat etc. - to buy and display an Idaho Invasive Species Fund sticker to legally launch and operate the boat in Idaho. Only inflatable, non-motorized vessels less than 10 feet long are exempt. The sticker and fee are in addition to any annual boat registration fees already paid. Stickers cost $10 for motorized vessels registered in Idaho, $20 for out-of-state motorized vessels, and $5 for non-motorized vessels. Discounts for non-motorized commercial fleets are available. The fees generated from the sale of stickers will fund vessel inspections, washing stations and informational materials that will help Idaho prevent the introduction of aquatic invasive species, such as quagga mussels.
