A bill for an act relating to registration and titling of certain trailers.
HF 2578 modifies Iowa's trailer registration and titling rules by removing the exemption for trailers weighing 2,000 pounds or less from certificate of title and lien requirements. It now requires these trailers (except farm trailers) to pay an annual registration fee of $20, while heavier trailers pay $30. The bill also changes title application fees to $30 plus a $5 surcharge (totaling $35), with funds going to the statutory allocations fund. This affects owners of non-farm trailers that previously had no registration or title requirements due to their weight. Farm trailers remain exempt from annual registration fees under this bill.
