Many of you have questions about the new Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Permit Program (AISPP), designed to prevent aquatic invasive species from gaining a foothold in our waterways. Fees are dedicated toward education, prevention and detection.

If your boat has a current registration decal (10 or 11) then you've already paid your fee. Operators of manually powered boats 10 feet or longer, such as canoes, kayaks, drift boats, rafts and small sailboats, must purchase and carry the $7 permit ($5 + $2 service fee) when using their boats. These permits are available at all ODFW license agents. Out-of-state powerboat operators will pay $22 ($20+$2 agent fee), also via ODFW license agents. The permit is also transferrable to other paddle craft! One permit per boat.
