TRANSPORTATION: Provides relative to the annual registration tax applicable to trucks and trailers statewide (EG INCREASE SD RV See Note)
HB 660 increases annual registration taxes for commercial trucks and trailers in Louisiana. It raises the annual fee for semitrailers and trailers from $10 to $15 (or $40 to $60 for a four-year payment), and increases the one-time permanent registration fee from $70 to $105. Light trailers, farm trailers under 6,000 lbs, and boat trailers will see their annual tax rise from $3 to $4.50. The bill directly affects owners of these vehicles by raising their registration costs, with no change to the payment options or refund rules. The tax changes apply statewide to all relevant vehicles registered in Louisiana.
