    Years ago my Dad bought a new trailer and even though we are located in TN, the trailer was registered and titled in OK to pay less taxes.

    We are getting ready to buy a new trailer and was wondering if something like that is still the case.

    ? 5 year plate and title is cheaper than that, 5 year or 10 renewal... I'll call tomorrow and ask. It's cheaper than that

    Tn. is a permanent tag also. If you have a MC number or leased to a company you can fill out an exemption form & you won't have to pay any sales tax. The last trailer I registered back in April was right around a hundred bucks.
