Re: Ownership transfer of Boat Docks
It has come to our attention that when Realtors or others offer property to prospective buyers, the buyers
may be told that there is a Boat Dock that comes with the property. For assessment purposes, the Taney
County Assessor’s office will assess boat docks separate from the real estate and will classify boat docks
as personal property. NEW and TRANSFERRED boat docks MUST be registered with the Assessor.
Therefore, when Boat Docks are sold with a property, transfers require a Bill of Sale. The new owner
should contact the Corp of Engineers, with the bill of sale, proper Permit number (posted on the Boat
Dock), along with the Property Record Card (which can be obtained from the Assessor’s office or on the
Taney County Beacon website) for the property the dock is attached to. The Assessor requires a copy of
bill of sale to set up Personal Property for the boat dock or slip. Note: Previous owner of the boat slip/dock
should alert the Assessor’s office to the sale. If Buyer does not properly register, the previous owner is
responsible for the tax bill.
