  • sells a motor vehicle, boat, recreational vehicle, or aircraft that will be customarily kept in a county that adopted the county tax.

Note: Additional information on which county tax is imposed on sales and leases of motor vehicles, boats, recreational vehicles, aircraft, snowmobiles, trailers, semitrailers, all-terrain vehicles, utility vehicles, and off-highway motorcycles is provided in Publication 201, Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Information, Part 18.D.
