It’s only barely more than that. I had to get a Colorado title for a trailer I bought from a state that did not title them. I did need an inspection that consisted of a CSP Trooper checking that the lights worked. I think that’s all the regulations require but perhaps if it’s super sketchy home built the inspector *might* not like it but then again I’ve seen plates on serious junk.Iirc and it hasn't changed, i just applied for a vin and title for my homemade trailer that i bought from someone. i think i even got the plates at the same time.
I think this greatly depends upon who you're working with at the dmv. my buddy just jotted down random prices of the main materials to submit for titling his utility trailer and they accepted it along with his weight slip and police inspection.Mine is a homebuilt from about 10 years ago and the dmv said I need to bring in the receipts from building it. I don't have any as I used steel that was laying around from other projects and an old truck axle someone gave me. They told me I need the receipts, then I can get temp tags to take it to state police for inspection, then I can come back and get plates for it. I've been using it a long time with no plates as a utility trailer and have never been bothered by the police. But I have been wanting to repurpose it into a camping trailer, so I think plates would be wise if I sink more time and gear into it. I would hate to have it towed away with all my camping gear and stuff in it.
You didn't buy lights or tires or a tongue for it? You have literally zero receipts? Or did you present receipts for that stuff and they also want it for the steel?Mine is a homebuilt from about 10 years ago and the dmv said I need to bring in the receipts from building it.

You just print their inspection page and bring it to the local police dept inspector.Looks like the Maine route wont work for me as I would need to have the inspection form completed by someone in Maine since I dont have a VIN.
