Towing Laws

State and local laws could require certain permits and licenses depending on the size and weight of your trailer. If your trailer is over eight feet in width, it will require different laws. Some states require side and rear-view mirrors. To double check and decide what requirements you should follow, it is recommended to contact your local department of motor vehicle administration. If you plan on entering another state while towing a boat, be sure to know there requirements.
