Likewise in Louisiana, if u don't take the wheels off, u have to buy tags.
the Homestead exemption usually covers the trailer.
I hope none of our legislators read about this, next session ,we will
have a bill passed to tax our towers. We just got them to rescind
the $70 auto tag for handicapped,retired vets,hams. etc. When they
passed a Vanity Tag Bill, all the above were put in and total charge
wud have been $70 in place of the $1 we have been paying. I was
not going to renew and they informed me it was repealed , fast. too
much heat..
