ILLINOIS: If it floats, it’s taxed !

It now costs $6 to Kayak, Canoe or Tube in Illinois
As of July 1, 2013 non-motorized watercraft, such as canoes, kayaks, even inner tubes, are required to have a valid “Water Usage Stamp” to float on Illinois lakes, streams and rivers.
State vendors, any business which offers hunting and fishing licenses, will sell the $6 stamp — also referred to as a “Paddle Pass” — plus a 50 cent service fee. Failure to buy one can result in a $120 fine, but it won’t be imposed right away. Owners buying stamps for more than three boats at the same time will only be charged $3 for the fourth and subsequent stamps.
The new fee is part of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources sustainability bill, which also included the $2 annual auto license plate fee hike added to help restore $18 to $20 million per year of the $50 million per year the agency had lost to recent state budget cuts.
The requirement is new for inner tube floaters, but for other non-powered watercraft like row boats and kayaks, this stamp replaces the need to apply for titles and registration in the state. The fee and sticker also are mandatory for out-of-state floating watercraft.
Not having a stamp could result in a $120 fine.
Chicago, meet Detroit. Detroit, Chicago.

I know that someday they will tax the sunlight on your solar pannels.......so get a "Land Patent".....they cannot tax the air, sunlight, or water that falls on your "private property"........you own (but for property tax) anything and everything from the four corners of your property all the way up to heaven and all the way down to hell......you can even shoot down a drone that is above your property.

Ponce - what an excellent idea. "Thank You" I will get a "Land Patent" especially since I just bought 40 acres of rural farmland and am working on drilling a well and septic system. Do you have any additional info on where to get the Land Patent Document form? If drones come onto my property then they get reprogrammed to protect my property!
