GL: Florida Sales Tax

[martin.campanella at hklaw.com]

Cruising permit, aka Sojourner Pass, I obtained one 7 months after I
purchased the Bay Pelican in 1999.  Since my residence was Illinois I
paid no sales tax on the transaction and was going to be in Florida for
a year.  Paying sales tax on a Krogen was not a pleasant thought.

Before the boat entered Florida I called the county department in charge
of sales tax or boating registration for the Fort Walton area and after
faxing them an application and a copy of my Illinois registration they
issued the cruising permit over the phone. My suggestion is to call your
local county and ask who issues these.
