There are plenty of types of trailers to choose from, depending on your needs: From boat trailers to utility trailers used by gardeners, construction workers, and the like, to travel and camper trailers for road trips and even snowmobile trailers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If it\u2019s non-motorized and you can tow it with your own vehicle, it\u2019s probably a trailer. The trailer title and registration details below are for trailers with Connecticut titles, not for out-of-state, as those have a few different requirements such as a VIN verification.<\/p>\n

Most trailers are registered as camp trailers in Connecticut<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Connecticut Trailer insurance coverage<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re using your trailer for personal use, the state of Connecticut doesn\u2019t require you to have it insured. But the vehicle towing it must carry auto insurance. The liability coverage will extend and protect you in case you\u2019re responsible of injuries and damages when pulling the trailer.<\/p>\n

One thing to note though is that if there\u2019s equipment theft or weather-related damages, you won\u2019t be covered through insurance since those aren\u2019t collision\/accident-related.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trailer title Form H-13B<\/strong>
\nTo ensure you\u2019re listed as the owner of your newly-bought trailer, the seller must sign the title over to you. Your title is your proof of ownership. To legally transfer and register the title to yourself<\/a>, you must complete a Connecticut registration and title application knows as Form H-13B.<\/p>\n

You may be able to use the previous registration as title<\/strong>
\nIf you bought your trailer in Connecticut, and it\u2019s newer than 20 model years, the proof of ownership is your title. But if it\u2019s an older model, before the year 2003, you can use the previous owner\u2019s registration instead of the title.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a sales tax on the trailer registration too<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The trailer weight makes a difference<\/strong>
\nYou won\u2019t need a title for your trailer if it weighs less than 3,000 pounds, like a small travel trailer or utility one. Unloaded weight is generally between 2,000-4,000 pounds. For more context\u2026A large travel trailer like one you\u2019d take on a road trip is typically over 4,500 pounds. A 5th<\/sup> wheel camper weighs almost 13,000 pounds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the bill of sale, also known as Form H-31, which will have the seller\u2019s name and price, as well a full description including color and model year
\nSEE ALSO:EXPIRED CONNECTICUT REGISTRATION HAS FINES UP TO $300<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

To recap, to title and register your Connecticut trailer<\/strong>
\n\u2022 you must have the seller sign over the title to you
\n\u2022 you must have a bill of sale
\n\u2022 you must complete Form H-31
\n\u2022 You must have a form of identification like CT driver\u2019s license<\/p>\n

If you owe property taxes or have unpaid parking tickets, you won\u2019t be able to register your trailer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
