If it is home built, the use tax should not be there. And when I made my
custom racecar trailer, there was not extra charge for "Custom trailer
application" And this is in Calif, the state who loves to tax. And the
plates come with the registration. If you have to replace damaged plates,
is about $10.

Michael - which of these fees seems excessive to you? One by one, they
don't seem excessive and looking at the list, I don't see anything
unusual or unreasonable for the first time registration. I also see
that subsequent registrations will be $10 -$27, depending on wt. What
is unreasonable other than having to title it and register it?
