Louisiana requires registration for every trailer which travels on public highways. The type of registration depends on the type of trailer you have. The categories are listed below:
- Light trailer: This form has a loaded gross weight of 500 pounds or less.
- Semi-trailer: This trailer is carried by another vehicle and has 1 or more load-carrying axles.
- Trailer: This model must have two or more load carrying axles. Some are considered enclosed trailers if they have a roof.
- Boat trailer: This is used exclusively for transporting boats and other water vehicles.
- Farm trailer/semi-trailer: This model is used solely for family and carrying farm produce. Horse trailers may fall under this category.
- Mobile home: This is meant for dwelling and requires a special homeowner policy.
- Travel trailer: While it can be used as a mobile dwelling, trailer insurance will usually cover it.
