LAUDERDALE COUNTY-Beginning January 1, 2015, the State of Alabama began requiring all boats/vessels registered in Alabama to be renewed via the state online boat registration system. Lauderdale County License Commissioner William Smith said, “This means any Lauderdale County resident who owns a boat or vessel registered through the Lauderdale County License Commissioner’s Office, can now renew their Alabama boat registration online from their smart phone or smart device or even their home personal computer. County residents do not have to come to our office to renew your boat registration.”
While Lauderdale County residents could always renew their boats when they renew their car or truck tag at www.LauderdaleCountyOnline.com for a small additional fee, county residents who wait until Memorial Day or the beginning of Summer to renew their boats can now renew their boat registration anytime at www.OutdoorAlabama.com or https://www.alabamainteractive.org/boat_registration/home/welcome.action . 
When renewing their boat online, county residents may need some additional information about their boat which may not be in the state system. This boat information includes the current AL number, the Hull number (which consists of 12 digits), the boat’s make, year and length (in feet and inches), the boat’s decal year and number, whether the boat has a marine sanitation device, the boat’s hull material, propulsion (outboard or inboard), it’s use (business or pleasure), the type of fuel the boat uses, vessel type, how many motors the boat has, the motor’s make with serial number and horsepower.
For more information, contact the Lauderdale County License Commissioner’s Office at 256-760-5833 or WilliamSmith@LauderdaleCountyAL.org .
