Do yo even have to register it in TN. Can't you tell them you are taking back to TX with you and do the registration when you get home, how ever TX will allow you to register it?

Originally written by jody on 2010-11-15 6:52 PMI am buying a new horse trailer in Tn but I live in Texas. Can I register it as a farm trailer? I don't want to pay sales tax and title it
Why not register it in Maine?...Maine is to trailers as Delaware is to corporations...

We live in WI and bought a trailer in MN. Dealer provided a temp plate for the trailer to get it to WI. Temp plates were good for about two weeks. We paid sales tax and registration fees in WI. Because it was a LQ trailer we were able to get RV plates which are much cheaper than TRAILER plates to renew each year.

As long as you don't plan on selling the trailer you can do whatever you want. I "unknowingly" bought a trailer from a "friend" that did that same thing. When I wanted to get everything legal and put a tag on the trailer and pay my taxes like everyone else, it turned into a nightmare. I ended up with a week wasted out of my life, a homebuilt title and a whole lot wiser about buying used trailers on a bill of sale. They were going to make me pay the taxes on the trailer since new, but managed to get out of that one. Do what you think is best. That was in Kansas all states seem to be different.
