Trailers (Non-Recreational)



A trailer is any vehicle designed for carrying property and being drawn by a motor vehicle being so constructed that no part of its weight rests upon the towing vehicle. A semi-trailer or fifth wheel is any vehicle designed for carrying property and being drawn by a motor vehicle and is so constructed that some part of its weight and some part of its load rests upon or is carried by another vehicle. Semi-trailers may not be used for farm use. Trailers that are used for farm use do not require a license plate if the vehicle pulling the trailer is registered as a regular Farm truck. If a farm truck is registered as Limited Farm it will have to have license plates for any trailers that it tows. Trailers, semi-trailers or fifth wheels that are used for commercial use must be licensed through the clerk’s office.



The following documents are required for trailers licensed by the clerk’s office:

* Certificate of registration
* Payment for registration and property tax fees
