Arkansas Boat Bill of Sale
Before operating on public waters, both mechanized and automated boats have to be documented with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA). Within thirty days of buying, recently bought boats have to be documented by the new possessor.
The registration will be effective for three years after it has been processed. When the registration is about to expire, the DFA sends out a renewal notice; the owner can renew their documentation by filling in the notice form and returning it to the DFA (no later than fifteen days before its due date) or going to their municipal state revenue workspace.
Boat possessors have to document their vessels physically at a state revenue office in Arkansas.
