Registration fee for 5th wheel in AZ

I bought an utility trailer to move my Can Am Spyder three wheel motor cycle between Arizona and Washington each spring and fall. $175 for a life time plate!Cars, trucks and RV are really expensive in Arizona however.

FYI, when I moved there in 03, I had to take my 5er in for an inspection... IIRC just a VIN inspection. So be prepared. Craig

Do you ever go somewhere to put down that kind of change without knowing at least a ballpark of what it will cost?

That is some nice helpful information CATraveler, kudos to you for throwing a dog a bone.

AZ truck registration appears more expensive than California. Wow.

First year vehicle value is 60% of mfg value, reduced by 16.25% each year. Mfg value is in some data base accessed via VIN. Registration for a given year is the yearly value/100*2.89. Ie 2.89 is the vehicle rate per $100 of value.

Therefore a $100,000 2020 used rig would cost: $1734 for 2020 and $1452 for 2021. Rather pricey.

Update 7/13/21 2.89 is the rate for a used vehicle and 2.80 is the rate for a new vehicle. This is per AZDOT on 7/13/21. AZDOT can supply the current year rate and manufactures value for a vehicle given the VIN. Check AZDOT for commercial rates, small utility trailers, reproduced vehicles etc.
