Well I would think that you would owe the taxes to the state, county or wherever you are resident. To do otherwise would be evading the taxes where you have an established resident. You may get away with it until one day some government official wakes up and sees that they are not receiving the tax revenue on their registered watercraft. A person could become liable for several years of back taxes. Just because a person owns property in another state and resides some where else does not allow you to pick out where you want to pay personal property taxes based on cheaper tax rates..... If you want to pay Missouri county personal taxes then move here and establish a permanent residents and pay our other taxes also. Just my opinion and everyone has one.....
