Length-based annual fees for camper trailers
Beginning January 1, 2026, Maine sets an annual excise tax on camper trailers by overall length. You must pay it before a new registration; it covers one year from your registration date. Fees start at $6 for trailers under 13 feet and rise to $352 for 52–53 feet; for 53 feet or longer, add $18 per extra foot, rounded up. The tax may not be based on the trailer’s value or age. Starting in 2026, the assessor updates these amounts each year by September 15 using the Chained CPI, rounds to the nearest dollar, and never lowers last year’s level.
