Kansas boat requirements
Boats/vessels in Kansas are registered and numbered through the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP), not the Department of Revenue. When buying from an individual, the registration application is submitted with the prior owner's certificate of number or a bill of sale plus the fee; from a dealer, a bill of sale showing sales tax paid is used. Boat trailers with gross operating weight of 2,001 lbs or more must be titled/registered through the county treasurer (Dept. of Revenue), where a bill of sale serves as prima facie evidence of ownership. The federal Hull Identification Number (HIN) identifies the vessel.
