How to Register a Boat

All boats powered by motor or sail must be processed for registration within the state of Tennessee. To register in person, visit any of the county clerk offices in your area and have the following ready to furnish:

  • A completed bill of sale.
  • Boat Registration Application (obtainable at your nearest county clerk’s office)
  • Proof that sales taxes were paid (the county clerk will validate your application with a stamp upon approval).
  • Form of payment to satisfy any fees applicable to registration.

You can also register through the mail by sending your application to the county clerk location listed on the form or online by visiting the Vessel Registration website provided by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
