Your specific question is, "Will I be charged any property tax while cruising?" Generally, you must have some significant connection with a state before that state can tax you. States can''t tax you just because you are passing through on a superhighway or on a waterway.

The types of connection that usually justify the imposition of such a tax are that (1) you are a resident of the state, or (2) that you use the property primarily within that state.

Generally, your legal residence can be anyplace that you intend to live for the indefinite future, even though you might be temporarily absent from that place.

Therefore, if you want to avoid tax liability, you should establish your legal residence in a state that doesn''t have a property tax, and you should avoid any lengthy stays in any state that has a property tax.

For more specific information, you need to know the specific law of the specific state that might be applicable, and discuss it with local counsel.
