Trailer license in BC (ICBC)

[pandaharo]

I want to buy a trailer for moving/reno and possible for towing an ATV if I get one. Do I need to get a license plate or insure it to use the trailer on the road? Not looking for a huge one, probably 8' by 4' at max 2000 lb GVW, only going to use it occasionally.

Thanks!

yes, you need to get it registered and insured.

I have a homebuilt trailer with insurance coming up soon. $22 for basic insurance, $23 for licensing, $45 in total ... but there may have been a registration fee when I first got it on the road ... somewhere less than $50 is running through my memory.

Thanks! Thats helpful, $50 a year isn't too bad; I was expecting closer to $100.
