Do you pay property taxes?

Are you talking about a house boat, living in a boat in international waters, a marina...?

House boat usually has a permit they have to pay for, they probably have to pay property taxes. In a marina, probably not but you may not be allowed to live in all marinas.

you pay a real personal property tax (usually an excise tax) just like a car or motorhome.

Depends on the state, municipality.

The dock fees probably have the marina property taxes rolled into your rent. If that's the case no, there not deductible for you.

My Q is if you don't have a permanent address. Why does one have to pick ONE state to have a permanent address? That's old stuff. I mean, I can travel in my RV and live from place to place, why should I have to be governed by any one state? (or country for that matter?)

In 15 years living aboard, I paid no property taxes. Boat was documented in FL and also had Bahamian registry.
