Renew Your Vessel Registration and Fishing License Online
From the Office of Chuck Perdue, Bay County Tax Collector
May brings beautiful weather to our area, which makes for great days on the water. If boating in May is on your agenda, make sure your boat is legal prior to launch.
With Memorial day weekend right around the corner, people often wait until the week before the holiday to renew their boat registration and fishing license. This often causes busy lobbies in our offices and long wait times.
Get ahead of the game by renewing online through our website at BayTaxCollector.com.
