Licensing The Trailer In Washington State

Tomorrow I'm planning on going to the DOL and getting plates for my trailer. How did it go for everyone? Any problems?
 
Thanks Jenn, Cary told me horror stories of getting them licensed. :eek:
Glad Washington is a licensed friendly state.:)
 
I wish mine had been smooth. There is nothing easy about our local DMV. After waiting an hour or so to be attended to I got a worker who was certain I needed to pay local excise tax in spite of having paid sales tax in Wisconsin. After 2 1/2 hours of round and round I just sucked it up and paid the extra $1100 or so. Having felt I had been wronged, I wrote the state comptroller and sent all the supporting documentation (including state laws pertaining to this). They agreed and issued me a refund check. It was quite a hassle to say the least!

Maybe it was because I went to one of the private pay for service DOL's. What state are you in?

Maryland. I went to a Baltimore City DMV. They don't see a lot of tear drops or other RVs for that matter being licensed there. Ben H

Tour 931, did you not have to pay WA DOL the difference between WA sales tax and WI sales tax? Whitman County sales tax is 7.8%. When I do buy my CI, I figured I'd need to pay WA DOL 2.3% sales tax, above the 5.5% paid to WI. Am I wrong about that?

Yes I paid the difference. In King County we are above 10%.
