Lifetime trailer registration

I bought a homebuilt trailer with a lifetime sticker and a 4×6 title (?) card. Do I need to re-register this/will it transfer? I kinda don’t want to pay more and the DMV website isn’t very helpful.

If it’s home built,just scrape the old tag off and tell them you built it your self. They will ask you how much you spent to build it and tell them, I don’t know, a couple hundred bucks. It will cost you about $100, about the same as a transfer, but it will take less time. That,s how I did it with a pop up camper that I helped a friend turn into a fish house. The people at the license bureau are used to home made trailers.

I must have read this wrong… I see it HAS a lifetime license and he has the title card …. I say you will need to pay tax on purchase price, to transfer title. $100 for the trailer is like $7… and a transfer fee… Why would you scrape off a lifetime license and start over, more $$$ ???

Agree with G here. Just go in and transfer ownership. That tag is good forever.

So for the record, if you buy a trailer with a lifetime sticker it costs 6.5% sales tax + $13 to transfer. If you need a new sticker it is $2.50 if you do it at the time of the transfer, or $12 anytime later.
