§ 29050 County Serial Number Registration

• •You need to apply and pay a fee to get a serial number for something.
• •The serial number has two parts: a county number and your own special number.
• •The county number is based on an old list from 1931, and some counties get a dash before their number.
• •The format is always: dash (for some counties) + county number + dash + your special number.

You want to register a boat in Los Angeles County.

You fill out a form and pay a fee. The county number for Los Angeles is 5 (from the 1931 list), so your serial number will look like this: -5-12345 (the dash before 5, then another dash, then your special number).
