Just called the tax office. They said if you take the boat and trailer to get weighed and it is under the 4500, then they will change it in their system. that's good news! how many bass boats with trailers are more than 4500? I don't think too many, but not for sure. I have another enclosed trailer than can haul 10,000 pounds, but it is less than 4500 empty. Hmmm. Your box trailer will require inspection if it's rated to carry 10k. Empty weight doesn't matter.

My Skeeter FX21 was over the amount and had to get it inspected before I could get my registration tags.

Trailers that are registered with farm tags are exempt. That sure is funny that I got letters on mine that they had to be done. If it was a manufactured trailer with farm tags it has to be done is what I was told.

My boat wont have to get it next year. I talked to the place I get my tags and told them there was no way my boat and trailer weighed that much they told me next year before I buy the tag to tell them again and they would change the weight in the system so I wouldnt need to get them anymore. Just did mine yesterday and the lady was very nice and made the change. Just don't know if they will do it through the mail or not. I don't like going down there to renew. I tried to renew on line and the trailer inspections do not come through on the computer to Austin and then to your county Tax Collector; so I had to go down to the office. Glad I did seeing I got it changed to the under weight; so no more inspections. We will see if it comes through the mail next year like it use to. The lady told me once they change it on the computer you shouldnt get a letter anymore.
