Registering trailer in another state

The company I use in Maine, 2 times and a friend used them, great service.
Even though Oklahoma issues you a permanent tag you have to pay $7 per year to keep it in the system, several big carriers weren’t paying and the got caught and had to pay up.
Maine Trailer Registration & Title Applications - Staab Agency

 

When did that happen? I’ve licensed every trailer in Oklahoma. Rarely go to Oklahoma. Haven’t bought a new trailer since 2012. Never paid a $7 annual fee either.

 

They added a 1% sales tax to cars several years ago, trucks are still exempt from state excise tax but not new sales tax, my new trailer was over 100k so I saved a lot.
If you get checked in Oklahoma and they see the Oklahoma tag they will want to see the form where you paid up.
I’ll switch to a Oklahoma tag soon and won’t have to pay the tax because it’s already in my name.

 

Any reason to switch to Oklahoma from your Maine tag other than personal preference?

 

I prefer a OK title and tag.

 

Hello, I’m following this thread and there’s some good info here. I had a question, I bought a trailer in Alabama and I had to get a new title. I’m in New York so I got the title here. I want to rent it out, how do I go about getting plates for it? Do I have to get the plates or will that be on the driver?
