(Webster City)– Iowans who own boats are being warned that their state registration stickers on the hull may now be expired. Nate Carr, an Iowa D-N-R conservation officer, says those three-year stickers were only good through April 30th — so if you registered a boat in 2019, you could be cited. He recommends stopping by your local recorder’s office, “whether you’re registering a vessel for the first time or renewing the vessel.”
Before you hit the open water, Carr suggests making sure key safety equipment is onboard, including a fire extinguisher and wearable life jackets for all occupants.
