What you actually pay
The only cost for a South Carolina boat title transfer is the fees you owe SCDNR directly. BoatForms calculates your exact total and tells you where to send payment.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Registration & Title (combined) | $20 |
| Outboard motor title (per motor, 5+ HP) | $10 |
| Casual Excise Tax | 5% (capped at $500) |
| Late fee (31–60 days) | $15 |
| Late fee (60+ days) | $30 |

Common questions
Is there really no cost to use BoatForms?
Correct. BoatForms is free. You only pay the state fees you'd owe anyway — we don't mark them up, take a cut, or charge for filling forms.
Do I need to enter a credit card?
No. There is no checkout and no account. Start the wizard, build your packet, done.
How does BoatForms make money?
BoatForms is currently in early launch. The app is free for everyone while we build out state coverage. Future paid features, if any, will be optional add-ons — the core form-filling stays free.
Will I be charged later?
No. Without an account or payment method on file, we have no way to charge you — by design. If that ever changes you'll see it clearly before it happens.
