Frequently asked questions

Does a small utility trailer need to be registered in Tennessee?

No — Tennessee does not require registration for privately owned utility and boat trailers (commercial and for-hire trailers are different). See the notes on this page for the details and any titling requirement.

Do travel trailers cost more to register in Tennessee?

Usually yes — travel trailers (campers) are typically registered on a separate schedule based on weight or value that runs higher than basic utility trailer fees. This calculator covers standard utility and boat trailers.
