[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5364708, member: 3052"] Years ago I bought a new trailer in Indiana outside the manufacturers facility because it was a much better price than I could get here. I told them I didn't want to pay tax because I would have to pay it when I ordered tags in Tennessee. They complied with the proper paperwork. When I got back to Tennessee I found out a tag wasn't required, so I never registered it or paid the sales tax. It took two years, but Tennessee sent me a bill for the tax plus penalties. Utility trailers under 8' wide x 20' long and boat trailers don't require a tag in Tennessee, but they have to be pulled by a Tennessee licensed vehicle. I've pulled that trailer with no tag all over the country and never been stopped. However, as others have said, if you are stopped in another state you are bound by their laws, or the Officer not understanding or caring what Tennessee laws are. I've seen plenty of people on forums claim they were ticketed in other states. It's a risk you take. [/QUOTE]
