Registration of vessels with the Spring Valley Lake Association is done in a two step process. There is no particular order however; both steps must be completed successfully before SVLA registration stickers may be issued. Vessels will not be permitted to enter upon Spring Valley Lake without their current SVLA registration stickers and current VOP.
All vessel owners must contact the Spring Valley Lake Association business office to confirm membership status, provide proof of state vessel registration (only applicable to powered vessels), minimum liability coverage and to pay SVLA vessel registration fees. For more information on this step of the process, please contact the Association business office at (760) 245-9756 or in person at 13325 Spring Valley Parkway.
All powered vessels must complete an inspection by the Public Safety Department before their SVLA registration is complete. To aid in preparation for the vessel inspection, we have included the following checklist for vessel owners:
Powered Vessels
Current and valid state registration indicating the appropriate member as the registered owner.
State registration numbers and hull identification numbers must be displayed properly and unobstructed.

*There are no inspection or state registration requirements for non-powered vessels.
