Renting out your boat at Lake Tahoe: permits and approvals

1. Your inspection seal and Tahoe sticker are not a rental permit

If you already launch at Tahoe, you hold a TRPA watercraft inspection seal with a Tahoe sticker. If your boat is not registered in California, you may also hold a Nevada aquatic invasive species (AIS) decal, and if it is registered in California, a California mussel sticker. These let you launch and operate your own boat. Neither one is a permit to rent your boat to someone else. TRPA says in its own words that it "requires permits for shoreline business activities including boat and personal watercraft rentals". The inspection program is about invasive species, not about who may rent.

TRPA watercraft inspection and seal

• Issued by: Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, through the Lake Tahoe Watercraft Inspection Program run by the Tahoe Resource Conservation District. Program site: https://tahoeboatinspections.com/ (fees: https://tahoeboatinspections.com/stickers-and-fees/; locations and hours: https://tahoeboatinspections.com/locations-2/). Inspection hotline: (888) 824-6267.
• What it covers: launching. TRPA's Code prohibits launching "any motorized watercraft" into Lake Tahoe without an inspection by TRPA or its designee (Code section 63.4.1.C), and the program says "All motorized vessels, including hand-launched electric watercraft, require inspection." After inspection you get a Tahoe sticker for the calendar year and a wire seal that ties your boat to its trailer; an intact seal lets you launch again without a new inspection.
• Whether it applies to renting: it applies to every launch, including a launch by your renter. It says nothing about renting. A renter who tows your boat must have an intact seal on it or get it inspected before launching. Launching without inspection carries a minimum penalty of $5,000 under Code section 63.4.
• Published cost: single inspection $65 for personal watercraft and vessels up to 17 feet, $95 for vessels 17 feet 1 inch and up; Tahoe In and Out sticker $70 or $115 by the same split, with unlimited inspections for the calendar year; Tahoe-Only sticker $50 for all sealed vessels; decontamination $60 (simple) or $100 (complex), with 50 percent off if you arrive clean, drained and dry, and $350 for a vessel with attached mussels, to which the discount does not apply.
• Winter: only the Meyers station runs, on select Wednesdays from October 14, 2026 through March 2027, by appointment made at least 48 hours ahead, with a $30 deposit that is refunded when the inspection and decontamination are completed; no-shows and cancellations within 48 hours of the appointment are not refunded.
• Steps: book or walk in at an inspection station in season (Meyers on the South Shore, Spooner on the East Shore, Alpine on the North Shore; check hours first), have the boat and trailer inspected and decontaminated, buy the sticker, and keep the wire seal intact between launches.
• Where TRPA says a boat may be launched: "All watercraft must be launched from a managed boat ramp or marina after inspection." TRPA's Governing Board approved settlements of $4,000 each with two boaters who launched across private property without inspection. Do not plan a rental around a launch from private land.

Nevada AIS decal (boats not registered in California)

• Issued by: Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW). https://www.ndow.org/get-outside/aquatic-invasive-species-prevention-program/
• What it covers: operating on Nevada waters, which include the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Nevada law says a person "shall not operate a vessel on the waters of this State" without paying the AIS fee and attaching the decal to the port side transom (NRS 488.536). The fee is an annual fee and each decal expires on a date NDOW fixes, so renew it before it expires. The law exempts a vessel on Lake Tahoe that is registered in California while California runs its own AIS program, and NDOW confirms that "California registered vessels are exempt" at Lake Tahoe and Topaz Lake.
• Whether it applies to renting: it applies to the boat, whoever operates it. If your boat is registered in Nevada or any state other than California, it needs the decal before your renter crosses into Nevada water, and a renter can cross the state line in minutes anywhere on the lake. It is not a rental permit.
• Published cost: $13 for a motorized watercraft, one per boat, not transferable, including NDOW's processing fee.
• Steps: buy the decal from NDOW as its AIS page directs, and attach it to the port side transom where it is visible.

California mussel sticker (boats registered in California)

• Issued by: California DMV, with vessel registration, under Harbors and Navigation Code section 675. https://california.public.law/codes/harbors_and_navigation_code_section_675
• What it covers: operating a California-registered boat on fresh water. The invasive mussel infestation prevention fee is paid with registration and the DMV issues a sticker; the fee does not apply to vessels used only in marine waters. For fees due in 2026 and later the statute sets the fee between $15 and $21 in even-numbered years and between $30 and $42 in odd-numbered years, and the bands are adjusted for inflation every odd-numbered year. A vessel operator "may be issued a citation" for operating on nonmarine waters without a valid sticker (section 675(f)(3)(A)), so your renter can be cited if the sticker has lapsed.
• Whether it applies to renting: it applies to the boat, whoever operates it. It is not a rental permit.
• Steps: pay the fee with your DMV registration and keep the sticker current.

2. TRPA's permit for boat and personal watercraft rentals

• Issued by: Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA). Main number (775) 588-4547; permitting technicians 775-589-5333. Permitting pages: https://www.trpa.gov/permitting/ and https://www.trpa.gov/permitting/applications-forms/. Marina Project Application: https://www.trpa.gov/wp-content/uploads/Marina_Project_Application.pdf. Code of Ordinances: https://www.trpa.gov/wp-content/uploads/TRPA-Code-of-Ordinances.pdf. Fee schedule: https://www.trpa.gov/wp-content/uploads/documents/FILING_FEE_SCHEDULE.pdf.
• What it covers: shoreline business activity. TRPA's June 13, 2023 release says TRPA "requires permits for shoreline business activities including boat and personal watercraft rentals", that "Unpermitted person-to-person boat rentals and similar online businesses" from private docks, piers, moorings or public beaches "are subject to enforcement", and that "Commercial activity from residential moorings is also not permissible". TRPA's Code treats "Rental of equipment and services" for recreational boating as a water oriented outdoor recreation concession (section 81.4.3), and the concession rules apply to concessions "located and/or operated within the shorezone and lakezone" (section 84.10.2.A.1).
• Whether it applies to renting: yes. This is the permit that TRPA says renting a boat or personal watercraft at Tahoe requires. Whether TRPA requires it when the keys change hands away from the water and the renter launches the boat is a question TRPA has not answered in writing. DooZed does not say that an upland trailer handoff is outside TRPA's permit requirement.
• Who can get one: not an individual at a home, pier or buoy. The Code says new concessions may be allowed "only as an accessory to a permitted upland commercial or public facility" or use (section 84.10.2.B.1) and "New motorized boat concessions may be allowed only within an existing marina." (section 84.10.2.B.2). TRPA permits specify the number and type of watercraft a concession may operate.
• The realistic path: a marina that already holds a TRPA concession permit. TRPA's Marina Project Application covers both shapes: a marina adding your boat to its own concession, or you applying as a concession operator at the marina with the marina's written agreement. Either way the marina decides whether to do this, and DooZed does not name any marina as permitted or as willing. Ask the marina in writing. The application (updated November 2022) treats "Establishment of concessionaires without expansion of use" as a minor project, but only at a marina that meets five prerequisites: an approved aquatic invasive species control plan, a current NPDES permit with Lahontan if applicable, a current State Lands lease if applicable, "a Clean Marina Certification recognized by TRPA", and a BMP certificate in good standing with TRPA. Its concession checklist asks for, among other things, a "Written agreement with marina for operation of the concession", the "Year, make, model, and CARB Star ratings" of each motorized watercraft, and for each boat either a TRPA mooring number or the storage location and launching procedures for watercraft not moored on a TRPA registered mooring, together with an operations plan, a parking description and a fuel management plan. A concession not located at a marina uses the Shorezone Project Application instead, whose box reads "Concession (outside of marina)"; that is not a path for a motorized rental, because the Code allows new motorized concessions only inside an existing marina.
• Published cost (TRPA fee schedule effective January 20, 2026): the schedule lists a new shorezone primary use in the category that includes "Commercial Boating" and "Water Oriented Outdoor Recreation Concessions" at a $4,636 minimum fee, and a modification to an existing one at $3,709, each marked "deposit account", which the schedule explains means TRPA recovers its actual processing cost against a deposit posted at filing and asks for more when costs reach 90 percent of it; unused deposit above the minimum fee may be refunded. Each of these applications also pays a $166 stormwater fee and a non-refundable $151 IT surcharge; a Shoreland Scenic Review fee of $1,054 (review levels 3 and 6) or $2,107 (levels 4 and 5) applies where the project's scenic review level calls for it; and a level-of-review multiplier of 1.25 (enhanced staff review with noticing), 1.40 (hearings officer) or 1.80 (Governing Board) is applied to the base fee for projects that need noticing or a hearing. The annual Motorized Boat Rental Concession fee is $75 per boat with a 3-star or better rating and $150 per boat with a lower rating: the fee schedule labels the tiers as EPA ratings, and the Marina Project Application labels them "CARB 3+ STAR RATING" for $75 and lower or no CARB rating for $150; ask TRPA which label it reads from your boat. Who pays the marina's TRPA fees is between you and the marina.
• Application window: none published. TRPA reviews applications as they come in; timing depends on the marina and on TRPA review.
• Steps: (1) find a marina with a TRPA motorized boat rental concession and ask, in writing, whether it will add your boat to its permit or sign a written agreement for you to operate a concession there, and whether it meets the five prerequisites; (2) agree the terms, including who pays the TRPA fees; (3) the marina, or you with the marina's written agreement, files the Marina Project Application with TRPA (TRPA's applications page says to apply online through Accela); (4) do not advertise the boat as available from the marina until TRPA has issued the permit; (5) keep a copy of the permit that lists your boat, because that is the document DooZed will ask for if an agency questions the listing.
• Two-stroke engines: TRPA bans two-stroke engines on the lake except direct-injection engines and engines certified to EPA 2006 or CARB 2001 standards (Code section 60.1.3.E). A boat that cannot be on the lake cannot be rented on it.

3. Lake Forest boat ramp, Tahoe City: TCPUD Ordinance 307

• Issued by: Tahoe City Public Utility District (TCPUD), (530) 583-3796. Ramp page: https://www.tcpud.org/boatramp. Ordinance 307: https://www.tcpud.org/sites/default/files/Ord%20307%20LFBR.pdf. FAQ: https://www.tcpud.org/sites/default/files/LFBR%20-%20FAQ%2004.06.23.pdf.
• What it covers: launching and retrieving at the district's Lake Forest ramp, and what may happen on the ramp property. Section 1.B(2) says a watercraft used for commercial purposes "may only be launched from or retrieved at the Property" if it holds a TRPA permit for commercial use and its owner holds a Placer County business license, and that "'commercial purposes' includes but is not limited to, use for renting". The rule attaches to the boat, so it applies when your renter launches it, not only when you do. Section 1.B(3) bars "the rental, delivery or pick-up" of a watercraft or trailer to a customer anywhere on the ramp property, so the ramp cannot be your handoff point.
• Whether it applies to renting: yes, by its own words. The district's FAQ reads more loosely: it says launching is "a permissible activity for all users", that "any user can purchase a daily or seasonal launch pass", and, to an owner who rents the boat out, "Yes, you may launch the boat at the Boat Ramp." None of those answers mentions the TRPA permit, the Placer County license or the Season Pass that section 1.B(2) requires, and the ordinance is the adopted rule. Do not rely on the FAQ.
• The three things a boat used for renting needs at Lake Forest:
  1. A TRPA permit for commercial use of the watercraft (section 2 above).
  2. A Placer County business license "to conduct business using a commercial watercraft". Placer County's business license pages refused automated retrieval on 2026-10-27, so this guide cannot quote the county's fee or process; contact Placer County directly and keep the license with the boat (section 10).
  3. A Season Pass bought for that boat. The district sells it only when the owner presents the TRPA permit and the Placer County license. Published prices: Summer Season Pass (May 1 to September 30) $195 for residents and property owners, $1,050 for non-residents; Annual Season Pass (January 1 to December 31) $295 and $1,200. The $20 and $75 daily launch passes are not available to a boat used for renting. Season passes "must be purchased online in advance", with no refunds.
• Penalties: the district "may" cancel every pass a violator holds, bar the violator's watercraft from launching for one year, and bar the violator's vehicles and trailers for one year, and the bars reach anyone who owns or controls, is owned or controlled by, or is under common ownership or control with the violator, where 'own' means an equity interest of more than ten percent. The ordinance does not say who the violator is when a renter launches a rented boat; assume the district could name you.
• Steps: get the TRPA permit (through a marina, section 2); get the Placer County business license; buy the Season Pass online at tcpud.org after presenting both; make sure the boat carries an intact inspection seal; never meet a renter, hand over keys, or park a rental trailer on the ramp property.

4. Nevada state parks: Sand Harbor and Cave Rock

• Issued by: Nevada Division of State Parks (Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park). Permit page: https://parks.nv.gov/fees/group-use-special-commercial-use. Sand Harbor: https://parks.nv.gov/parks/lake-tahoe-nevada-state-park. Cave Rock: https://parks.nv.gov/parks/lake-tahoe-nevada-state-park-2. Rule: NAC 407.088, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/nac/NAC-407.html. Application form: https://parks.nv.gov/uploads/documents/Special_Use_Permit_for_Public_Use.pdf.
• What it covers: commercial use of a state park. In a park no person may, "Without a concession permit or commercial use permit", sell or offer to sell goods or services, or "use a park for any other commercial purpose", and "commercial purpose means any activity that is engaged in for financial gain" (NAC 407.088).
• Whether it applies to renting: the parks have not said whether a renter launching a rented boat, with the owner outside the park, is a commercial purpose. No parks page describes a permit for a single rented boat. The form does have a "Commercial" box. DooZed does not say that a renter's launch at Sand Harbor or Cave Rock is permitted without a permit.
• Application window: Sand Harbor, Spooner, Cave Rock and Van Sickle "only accept permit applications from October 1 to April 15". The window is open now and closes April 15, 2027 for the 2027 season.
• Published cost: a non-refundable $25 processing fee with the application; special use base fee $400 at Sand Harbor and Cave Rock, plus a user fee of $10 per adult (16 and over) and $5 per youth. The posted public launch rate is $20 per Nevada-plated vehicle or $25 otherwise, with day use at $10 or $15; that is the public rate and may not apply to a boat used for renting. Sand Harbor's ramp is closed for the season as of 2026-10-27; its day-use reservations run May 15 through September 30.
• What the form requires: item 9, "Application is for (check all that apply)", offers "Commercial", "Organization Group", "Vending", "Individual", "Fundraiser" and "Other". Item 19 asks "Do you have a valid Nevada State Business License" and is marked REQUIRED. The form says "you must have a valid state business license and Acord Proof of Insurance" with an attached endorsement, and that all business names on the license, the insurance and the permit must be the same. Item 20 asks for an operations plan, maps and the $25 fee.
• Nevada State Business License: see section 10. The parks form requires it, and Nevada law requires it of anyone doing business in Nevada in any case.
• Steps: (1) get a Nevada State Business License in the same name you will insure under; (2) get Acord proof of insurance with the endorsement the park requires; (3) complete the Special Use Permit Application, check "Commercial", attach the operations plan, maps and $25 fee, and mail it to the park at least 60 days before the activity and within the October 1 to April 15 window; (4) wait for written approval or denial; the park may add a cost recovery fee.

5. City of South Lake Tahoe: El Dorado Beach and city parks

• Issued by: City of South Lake Tahoe, Parks and Recreation Department, phone 530-542-6056. Permit page: https://www.cityofslt.gov/2524/Commercial-Use-of-Parks. Ramp page: https://www.cityofslt.gov/296/Boat-Ramp-at-El-Dorado-Beach.
• What it covers: the Commercial Use of Parks Permit (CUPP) is required for any activity in a city park "where a fee is charged or revenue is generated", "either directly or indirectly".
• Whether it applies to renting: the city has not said whether a renter launching a rented boat at El Dorado Beach, with the owner outside the park, needs the permit. The page is written for classes, programs and workshops. DooZed does not say that a renter's launch there is permitted without one.
• Published cost and terms: a $50 permit fee at application; a valid City of South Lake Tahoe business license (section 10); proof of insurance naming the City as additionally insured; the permit is valid for up to six months, is non-exclusive, and "Approval is not guaranteed".
• Ramp status: the El Dorado Beach ramp is "Closed for the Season" for Phase 2 of the El Dorado Beach Revetment and Improvement Project, which began September 8, 2026, with no reopening date published. When open, the posted public rate is a $17 day-use launch or a $138 season pass, which may not apply to a boat used for renting; maximum boat length 23 feet; inspections not provided on site.
• Steps: get the city business license; apply to Parks and Recreation for the CUPP with the $50 fee and the insurance certificate; wait for approval; renew within six months.

6. Incline Village: Ski Beach boat ramp (IVGID)

• Operated by: Incline Village General Improvement District. https://www.yourtahoeplace.com/parks-rec/incline-village-beaches/watercraft-boat-launching/
• The rule: "The Ski Beach Boat Ramp is not open to the public"; it is for IVGID Picture Pass and Recreation Punch Card holders only. And: "Any use of the boat launching ramp or beaches for commercial purposes is prohibited."
• Whether it applies to renting: a rental is a commercial purpose, and a renter without an IVGID pass cannot enter. There is no permit to apply for. Do not plan a rental around Ski Beach.

7. Forest Service concession beaches: Zephyr Cove, Camp Richardson, Meeks Bay, Round Hill Pines

• Land manager: USDA Forest Service, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, phone 530-543-2600. Beaches: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/laketahoebasin/recreation/beaches-and-picnic-areas. Permits: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/laketahoebasin/permits/special-use-permits.
• The rule: these sites are marked "USFS/SUP", meaning the beach "is managed by a concessionaire under a special use permit" on National Forest land. Doing business on National Forest land needs a Forest Service authorization, and the Forest Service warns that "advertising and collecting fees for a service" before an authorization "may be against the law".
• Whether it applies to renting: handing a rented boat to a renter at one of these beaches or marinas is doing business on forest land. Do not hand off there. Do not plan a renter's launch at these sites either: the concessionaire controls access, the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit has not said whether a renter's launch of a rented boat needs an authorization, and none of the four is on the inspection program's current launch list. The Forest Service decided in 2024 to remove the Meeks Bay marina as part of the Meeks Bay Restoration Project.
• Cost and steps: a Forest Service special use authorization is applied for through the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit; there is no published path for a single owner's rental handoff, and this guide does not describe one.

8. Other launch points: Kings Beach, Tahoe Vista, and private marina ramps

• Kings Beach State Recreation Area (California State Parks, https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=511): the ramp at the end of Raccoon Street is "available for non-motorized vessels only that are clean and dry". No motorized boat or personal watercraft launches there.
• Tahoe Vista Recreation Area (North Tahoe Public Utility District): the district's own site refused automated retrieval on 2026-10-27, so its rules for a boat used for renting are unverified. The Lake Tahoe Public Beaches page says the launch is "open seasonally, from Memorial Day weekend through October" and that "Tie-up of any watercrafts requires NTPUD approval." Ask the district (parks@ntpud.org) in writing before planning a renter's launch there.
• Private marina ramps: the inspection program lists eleven private launch facilities (https://tahoeboatinspections.com/ready-to-launch/), of which eight are marinas on Lake Tahoe. Each marina decides for itself whether it will launch a boat used for renting and at what rate; none of the marina sites DooZed reviewed publishes a rule, and TRPA says it works "with marinas and public boat ramp managers" to reach unpermitted operators. Get the marina's answer in writing before you list, and do not assume the public launch rate applies to a rented boat.

9. State paperwork: registration, boater cards and rental records

Registration

• California: register the boat with the California DMV and display the CF number (DMV vessel information: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-registration/vessels/). The DMV's vessel fee page could not be confirmed on 2026-10-27; check the fee with the DMV. Pay the mussel fee with registration and keep the mussel sticker current (section 1).
• Nevada: register with NDOW (https://www.ndow.org/apply-buy/boat-titling-registration-and-more/). Published annual registration fees run from $20 (under 13 feet) to $100 (31 feet or more), plus a $20 title fee, before processing fees. A Nevada-registered boat operated for hire has its certificate of number marked "livery boat" under NAC 488.115; ask NDOW whether that applies to you.

Boater cards

• California: the California Boater Card is required for "All persons, regardless of age" from January 1, 2025, but the law does not apply to "A person operating a rental vessel" (Harbors and Navigation Code 678.11(c)(4)). Your renter is exempt from the state card while operating your rental. DooZed still requires its own boater education certificate from every renter.
• Nevada: boaters born on or after January 1, 1983 must complete an NDOW-approved boater education course before operating on interstate waters, and Lake Tahoe is one. Nevada's rental rules reach anyone "engaged in the business of renting or leasing power-driven vessels" for operation on interstate waters: a renter born on or after January 1, 1983 who rents a boat with a motor over 15 horsepower must be 18 or older and sign an affidavit of boater education or an equivalent; the rental agreement must list "the name and age of each person" authorized to operate; and the owner must give each operator "a summary of the statutes and regulations" and safe-operation instructions before departure (NRS 488.730(3) to (5)). A renter born on or after January 1, 1983 operating a boat with a motor over 15 horsepower must carry either proof of boater education or the rental agreement that lists them as an authorized operator (NRS 488.730(1) and (2)(d)). DooZed's rental agreement (version 1.0) does not contain the Nevada affidavit, the name-and-age list or the rules summary, so you must handle these yourself today.

Rental records and equipment

• California: a boat livery owner keeps a record of each renter's name and address, the vessel's registration number, the departure date and time and the expected return time, "for at least six months" (Harbors and Navigation Code 673), and may not deliver a vessel to a renter without the required safety equipment (section 674).
• Nevada: the same record, kept "for at least 6 months", and the same equipment rule (NRS 488.295).

10. Business licenses and taxes

• Nevada State Business License: issued by the Nevada Secretary of State. Nevada law says a person must "obtain the state business license before conducting a business in this State" (NRS 76.100(1)), and the state license is "in addition to any license to conduct business" that the local jurisdiction requires (NRS 76.100(6)). The fee in NRS 76.100 is $200, or $500 for a corporation. The Secretary of State's page refused automated retrieval on 2026-10-27, so apply through the Secretary of State's SilverFlume portal and confirm the current fee there. Nevada's definition of "business" excludes a person who runs a business from home with net earnings below a wage threshold (NRS 76.020(2)(c)), but the parks form in section 4 still asks for the license, so plan on holding one if any part of your rental touches Nevada.
• Local business licenses: the local jurisdiction where you do business may require its own license. Depending on where you hand off and where you live, that is Placer County (Tahoe City, Kings Beach, Tahoe Vista, Homewood and the Placer side of Tahoma), El Dorado County (the unincorporated south and west shore, including the El Dorado side of Tahoma), the City of South Lake Tahoe, Washoe County (Incline Village) or Douglas County (Stateline, Zephyr Cove). Ordinance 307 requires the Placer County license by name, and the city's park permit requires the city license. This guide does not quote local fees; the Placer County and city pages could not be retrieved on 2026-10-27.
• California sales and use tax: California treats a lease of tangible personal property for a consideration as a "sale", generally taxed on the rentals, with an exception for property leased in substantially the same form as the lessor acquired it where the lessor paid sales tax reimbursement or use tax measured by the purchase price (CDTFA Regulation 1660, https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/lawguides/vol1/sutr/1660.html). Whether your rentals are taxable depends on your facts; ask the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration before your first rental and keep its answer.
• Transient occupancy tax: county and city transient occupancy taxes apply to lodging. This guide could not confirm whether one reaches a boat rented by the day or hour, so ask the county before your first rental, and again if you ever offer overnight stays aboard.

11. Insurance that covers rental use

• Your personal boat policy may exclude rental use. In Arizona, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office told the Arizona Capitol Times in June 2026 that in rental incidents damage "have not been covered due to there being lack of insurance". Confirm coverage for rental use with your insurer in writing before your first rental.
• The approvals above come with their own insurance conditions: Nevada State Parks requires Acord proof of insurance with an endorsement in the same name as the permit; the City of South Lake Tahoe requires a certificate naming the City as additionally insured; a marina that carries your boat on its concession may require you to insure the marina.
• DooZed's terms make owners responsible for "Holding licenses, registrations, permits, and insurance required for the offered activity and location." DooZed does not verify your policy.

12. Before you list at Tahoe: checklist

1. Your boat has a current TRPA inspection seal and Tahoe sticker, and, if it is not registered in California, a current Nevada AIS decal, or, if it is registered in California, a current California mussel sticker. These are not a rental permit.
2. You have a written answer from a marina that holds a TRPA concession permit that it will carry your boat on its permit, or sign a written agreement for you to operate a concession there, and host the handoff, and a copy of the TRPA permit listing your boat; or you have decided to use a trailer handoff away from the water knowing that TRPA has not said whether that needs a permit and that no public ramp has said it admits a boat used for renting.
3. If your renter could launch at Lake Forest: the boat holds a TRPA commercial permit, you hold a Placer County business license, and you have bought the Season Pass for the boat.
4. If your renter could launch at Sand Harbor or Cave Rock: you have asked the park, in the October 1 to April 15 window, whether a permit is needed and applied if it is, with a Nevada State Business License and Acord proof of insurance.
5. If your renter could launch at El Dorado Beach when it reopens: you have asked the city whether a Commercial Use of Parks Permit is needed and applied if it is.
6. You will not hand the boat over or take it back at a private pier, dock, buoy or mooring, a beach or a public ramp, or deliver it to the water for your renter, unless a marina carries the boat on its TRPA concession permit and the handoff is at that marina.
7. You will not hand off, or plan your renter's launch, at Ski Beach, at a Forest Service concession beach, or at Kings Beach.
8. The boat is registered, its engine is not a banned two-stroke, and you hold the Nevada decal or the California mussel sticker as applicable.
9. You hold a Nevada State Business License if any part of your rental touches Nevada, and the local business license for where you do business.
10. Your rental agreement lists each authorized operator by name and age, your renter has signed the Nevada affidavit where it applies and carries the agreement, and you give each operator the rules summary before departure.
11. You keep the renter record for six months.
12. You have asked the CDTFA whether your rentals are subject to California sales or use tax.
13. Your insurer has confirmed in writing that the policy covers rental use.
14. Your DooZed listing shows the handoff method and location you will actually use, and your listing's pickup instructions match it.

If an agency asks DooZed to remove your listing. DooZed will verify the request by calling the agency at its published number, unpublish the listing, and tell you in writing. A takedown cancels your upcoming bookings on that listing with a full refund to each renter, and DooZed treats it as an owner cancellation. DooZed republishes the listing only after you give DooZed one of these: (a) a TRPA concession permit covering the boat, or a marina's TRPA permit that lists the boat together with the marina's written consent to the handoff; (b) a written statement from TRPA that the listing, as revised, does not need a permit; or (c) TRPA's written withdrawal of the request. If another agency made the request, DooZed needs the equivalent document from that agency. Changing only the listing's wording is not enough. A second verified request about your listings, or a request about a listing that was republished, ends your Tahoe listings on DooZed. Agency requests reach DooZed at info@seansanjose.com.
