Title: how to register a trailer? Post by: gery350 on June 03, 2005, 06:42:47 PM question. my friend has a trailer and wants to register it. i'm pretty sure you gotta get it weighed. i dont know if you need anything else. has anyone had any experience with this?
Title: Re: how to register a trailer? Post by: bigsteve on June 03, 2005, 10:59:55 PM I don't think you would have A problem if your trailer weighs less than 2000lbs. If it weighs more than 2000lbs. you have to have A title.
I had A 4x8 trailer I wanted to register, I didn't have A title, she said I didn't need one in the state of Florida as long as it weighed less than 2000lbs. She just told me to guess the weight of the trailer. I did and she gave me the registeration & plate. So I guess it depends on the size of trailer. Title: Re: how to register a trailer?

Title: Re: how to register a trailer? Post by: gery350 on July 25, 2005, 05:04:32 PM the cost depends on the weight but ya its probably between 30 and 50 bucks. the 100.00 new tag fee does not apply to trailers.

Post by: AintSkeered on July 25, 2005, 09:17:23 PM All you need is your old(or previous owner's) registration and a bill of sale listing the selling price(you pay sales tax on that amount, wink-wink). Besides, most trailers have the weight posted on a sticker somewhere on the traielr.

i Title: Re: how to register a trailer? Post by: YFZ450AndyH on July 27, 2005, 02:00:31 AM I have had to "guess the weight" before. I would definitely NOT just slap any tag on there, though. No tag is better than affixing the wrong one. Trust me.
Title: Re: how to register a trailer? Post by: Moose on July 27, 2005, 08:47:24 AM My 5x14 weighs 750 lbs with a 3500lb axle. A 4x8 should be about half that, give or take a little, axle type and all.

I built my trailer, and to register it in broward county, I had to have the following: Detailed list of materials used to construct the trailer: Welded steel frame, sizes of steel used, five 2 x 12 wood planks, one 3500# axle, two five lug trailer wheels & tires etc,etc... a) make sure it states your name address, etc. b) it must be notorized And you have to have it weighed. There's a place by my office that did it for me for $5.00. Take that notorized list and weight certificate to the tag office. I think it cost me like $35.00. Note: This is what I had to do in Broward county.. After a real hassle to get them to tell me what I nneded to bring. When I told them that I wanted to register a home made trailer, they looked at me like I was a crazy man... |
