trailers are free of title plates and tags for as long as the GTW is less then 1,800lbs. (IE the load on the trailer wheels)Oregon DMV Boats & Boat Trailers
though lights are still required, even if there abal to be seen on the tow auto.

after 1,800 to 8,000lbs its the same fee as a passenger auto, for light Utility trailer plates $86 two years for tags. though title, plates and tags is about $180 the first time..Oregon DMV Light Trailers


after 8K your in to HU, hevey utility plates and they must be pulled by a auto registered by weight.Oregon DMV Heavy Trailers
farm, truck or PUC plates. though there a permrmanet regestraton on the trailer, the fee for the auto is quite steep.
only the farm for 8K is less then the passenger auto by $16 every two years.
Motor Carrier Transportation Farm Trucking in Oregon

so if you file the paper work for farm plates "and get approved" and register the trailer as a HU title fee is about $20 more.
the first year would cost about $300 for the title, plates and tags for the tow auto and trailer. but there after it would be $35 every year for the farm plates on the tow auto and the trailer would be free.
talk about a loop hole in the system
