Selling a trailer in Arizona: what to know
Arizona titles and registers trailers through the MVD, but sweetens the deal for private owners: non-commercial utility trailers under 10,000 lbs qualify for permanent registration. Pay once, get the PERM tab, and never renew again. That makes the initial transfer paperwork the only paperwork most Arizona trailer owners ever do.
A private sale runs on the signed-over title plus the bill of sale recording the price and date. Homemade trailers take an extra lap: a safety inspection and an Arizona special serial number application before the MVD issues the first title.
