Abandoned trailer on my property. How do I go about registering it for use.

Have you threatened the owner?

 

If there is paperwork with the state saying he owned it at some point, tell him to come get it or take him to small claims court over the cost to have it removed.

well... fuck all. this is what I get for procrastinating...

called the DMV. they have a "packet" to deal with abandoned trailers and they're send it out to me. let's see what happens.

 

if not, you can have it for $1000

home made requires a crap load of docs...

 

To register a homemade trailer

To title and/or register a homemade trailer, visit your local MVC Agency with acceptable proof of identification and the following: Original receipts/titles for all parts used

Notarized statement containing construction details, parts and material used, and date and location where parts were purchased. If parts were taken from another trailer/vehicle, you must list the VIN’s of the vehicles it was taken from.

A certified weight slip

Color photographs showing all angles of trailer

If trailer weighs more than 2,500 lbs. (unladen), it must be titled; therefore, OS/SS-32 form must be completed.

If trailer weighs 2,500 lbs. or less (unladen), it must only be registered; therefore,

BA-49 form must be completed at the MVC Agency.

Pay registration fee (Code 22) and title fee, if applicable

 

or have you recently done this and not encountered these issues.

 

Two forms, photos, and a sketch. If you can't do that, how the hell did you get a FPID?

I admittedly didn't read the whole thread but google registering it in Maine.  Nice lady that answered the phone sent me an application.  Dot the T's, cross the I's, they send you ME plates and some months later you transfer it to NJ without the bureaucracy (like requiring you to tow your unregistered trailer to an inspection center so it can be inspected for registration purposes).  Done it with my HF trailer

Ouch.  Alright first you'll need a time machine then.

May I suggest this, but at slightly smaller scale?
