How to Register a Trailer Purchased Directly from the Manufacturer

This article explains how trailer registration works when purchasing and picking up directly from the manufacturer.

Trailer Registration Process for Direct Purchases

When you buy a trailer directly and pick it up, the registration process involves the following steps:

  1. No Sales Taxes or Registration Fees: There are no additional sales taxes or registration fees charged by the manufacturer at the time of purchase. These Fees are based and vary from state to state. 

  2. Registration as a Utility Trailer: The trailer will be registered as a utility trailer.

  3. Visit Your Local DMV: After receiving the bill of sale and MCO title for your trailer, you will need to visit your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to complete the registration process.

  4. Documentation Required: Ensure you have the bill of sale and title with you when you go to the DMV, as these documents are necessary for registration.

Conclusion

Purchasing a trailer directly from the manufacturer simplifies the registration process, as there are no additional fees from the manufacturer. Just remember to take the necessary documentation to your local DMV to register your new utility trailer.
