Morning Nebraska.
John, as Shawn mentioned yearly inspection on trailers with brakes or gross weight of 3000 pounds or higher (above 3000 pounds have to have brakes) I have VA permanent plates so I don't have to register the trailers every year. I keep a log book of miles and dates used and expenses on the car trailer. Basically pack the bearings and check the brakes , also paint touch-up to make it look pretty.
Also have a smaller trailer, with VA plate that is under 3000 pounds so don't have to get it inspected yearly.

I'm not sure of the regulations up here but imagine about the same, I see many being pulled over on the highways here now by the department of transport. I've never owned a big trailer..
