whats a home made trailer title?

i just found this on the web...its from the unoffical dmv site:

If your trailer fits one of these two rules:

It weighs less than 3,000 pounds (including its load), or

It's an agricultural trailer weighing less than 10,000 pounds (including its load)

then it doesn't have to be titled.

Registering your trailer also depends on weight:

Under 3,000 pounds―Requires a one-time registration decal that fits on the tongue of the trailer. It costs $55 for the permanent registration, plus additional processing and sales tax fees.

Trailers larger than 3,000 pounds require plates and must be renewed annually. Fees are based on weight.

is this correct?

its true..answered my own question. as long as there has never been a title issued all i need is the flordia registration and a bill of sale...and im good to register it in MN.
