New validation boat decals required

From Fish, Wildlife and Parks

Owners of motorboats, sailboats or personal watercraft need to get the new, green, free 2017-2020 validation decals for their watercraft soon.

The current blue decals expired Feb. 28.

Boaters who have permanently registered their boats, sailboats, or personal water craft must still obtain two free boat validation decals every three years.

Boaters in the Havre area may receive their decals at the Fish, Wildlife and Parks area office, at the Hill County Courthouse, or by going to the FWP website at http://fwp.mt.gov; click “Boat Validation Decals” under “What’s Trending,” “Popular.”

Owners who order validation decals on the FWP website will receive the decals in the mail. Information included on a current boat registration receipt issued by the County Treasurer is needed to obtain the decals in person or on FWP’s website.

For more information, visit FWP’s webpage or call FWP at 406-265-6177.
