How Do I Register My Trailer In Sc

South Carolina does not require registration on boat trailers.

The question: Other states I've lived in or traveled through require that utility trailers be registered and tagged, but I encounter utility trailers of all sizes in affluence in the Anderson expanse with no tags. Why doesn't the land crave registration, which would help in recovery if they are stolen?

The answer: Almost utility trailers do non crave registration with the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles.

DMV spokesman Lauren Phillips said some types of trailers are required to exist registered in South Carolina. Utility trailers are defined in SC Code of Law 56-3-130 and -720, merely far more practice not require registration or plates.

Individually endemic trailers are required to be registered when used for out-of-land travel. Besides, trailers that exceed 2,500 pounds are required to exist registered. Those owners can choose between a permanent trailer plate or the annual trailer plate, Phillips said.

Boat trailers weighing less than two,500 pounds are non required to exist licensed and registered. Farm trailers, regardless of weight, exercise non have to be licensed or registered.

Utility trailers which are privately endemic and not for hire do non have to be licensed or registered.

If a customer voluntary registers a trailer, the utility trailer plate (says "Utility Trailer" on the top), will be issued to the customer. A paid property tax receipt is not required to register this blazon of trailer. The plate is $10.
