Wheelhouse registration

[Moon Lake Refuge]

Hey All,

Ice house is getting ready to fish out of but every DMV I call has a different hoop to jump through.  We bought and fabricated everything ourselves(no premade frame to start with) a couple DMV's told me I need to pay tax even though I have reciepts showing we already paid tax.  Anyone have any recent encounters with homemade trailers?  Details- 8x16, single axel, under 3k lbs right now but next year it will be over 3k.  Trailer has brakes.  Will not have a bathroom.  Any advice would be appreciated.  In the south metro if anyone knows any DMV's that are easier to deal with than others.

Hello again MLR, I just took my receipts in, told them what I spent(they sure weren't going to add them all up), lied about the weight because I don't have brakes but under 3000 you don't need them) and walked out with a registration. I had zero hassle. If the frame is a hassle( I don't think it is) send me PM with your email and I'll send you a copy of my 8 x 16 from Miltona.

Thanks Hawg.  I did just get off the phone with a lady at the hastings DMV and she said not to worry... bring my receipts and she would have me out the door inside of 15 minutes with the $50 registration fee.  Hope she was right!

FYI: Make copies of your receipts for your files because they will only accept the originals and they keep them.

They didn't keep mine.

Maybe changed the law? I registered my homebuilt wheel house in late 2013 and it stated right on the paperwork that they would keep the original receipts. I figured it was to keep everybody honest.
