I was surprised to learn that that you need to register your trailer, no matter the size as well.

Re: Registering a trailer
The only trailers that do not require registration are trailers that can be called a "piece of equipment". Like a cement mixer....welder...mounted on an axle and towed to a job site.

I've seen a hot tar trailer on the road before - it was smoking and didn't smell so good. I didn't see a license plate on it either. I doubt it needed to be registered.

No, IF they class it as a "piece of equipment", in VA anyway, it does not need a license plate. Not sure of all states.

Actually, your best bet is to check the laws for your particular state. For example, here in KS trailers need only be registered if their GVWR is over 2000 pounds, and not for farm use. Also, any trailer with dual axles, or wheels 15" or larger, regardless of GVWR are required to be registered.
Best to check with your local constabulary or State Police/Highway Patrol.
