A reminder for everyone heading out this summer to enjoy the beautiful waters in Idaho! Idaho law states that any motorized or non-motorized boat operating in Idaho is required to display an Invasive Species Fund (ISF) sticker.
Boaters found without a current sticker are subject to a fine of $57. When you purchase and display an ISF sticker, you contribute to a fund that provides vessel inspections, washing stations and informational materials that will assist Idaho with preventing the introduction of aquatic invasive species.
What vessels need to have the stickers?
- Any watercraft coming in from out of state that is not registered in the state of Idaho.
- Any watercraft including, but not limited to; boats, canoes, kayaks, stand up paddleboards, rafts, etc.
- Registered watercraft in the state of Idaho have the invasive species sticker included in the registration. The invasive species sticker must be visible on watercraft.
To be exempt, watercraft needs to meet all of the following criteria:
- Less than 10-feet in length
- Non-motorized
- Inflatable
Prices for sticker:
- Invasive Species Non-Motorized $7
- Invasive Species Motorized Not Registered in Idaho $30
Tickets can be purchased at the Watercraft Inspection Station on Plaza and Ash Street in Bonners Ferry! Cash and Card accepted. For more information regarding the Invasive Species Program please visit https://invasivespecies.idaho.gov/programs-overview or visit your local Inspection Station.
