Print this pageAny trailer that weighs less than 2,000 pounds is not required to be titled; it is only registered. Read our boat/utility trailers publication for information regarding the documentation required to register your trailer.
Trailers that weigh 2,000 pounds or more must be titled and registered. Visit our motor vehicle general information page for more details.
Registration fees for boat trailers are based on weight. The heavier the boat trailer, the higher the registration cost.
