I live in Tennessee also. Trailer tags are not required but I have a utility and my travel trailer with tags on them. When I bought my Utility trailer from a well known supply company I got a title. I took it to the clerk's office to get it put in my name...hence I had to have tag's for it. $14.50 a year isn't nothing. I was thinking, how many others who own boat trailers, etc and don't tag them, do they have a title? Hope you get it straightened out! It can be a mess.....
I'm also in TN. While utility trailers (and tow dollies) don't need a tag/title, travel trailers definitely DO need a tag/title. (When I had a tow dolly, I got a tag/title for it the first year so I would have clear title. I never renewed the tag, but kept the title.)

Trailers
Camping Trailers
All camping trailers, regardless of dimensions, must be titled and registered, except those that collapse or fold down.
Utility Trailers
The State of Tennessee does not require individuals to title and license utility trailers for private use, as long as you are pulling the trailer behind a Tennessee-licensed vehicle. Some states do require a proper registration. Therefore, it is advisable to title and license your utility trailer if you plan to pull through other states.
