    Take it off and turn it in. Sold a boat last summer, took the tag off and tossed it. Found out when I got my tax bill this year the buyer never licensed the trailer because he lives in a private riverfront community. Since I didn’t turn the tag in DMV never contacted the county and I got taxed as the owner... Had to send in a copy of the bill of sale to get it removed.

    In NC the permanent tag stays with the trailer even when sold.

    Sell the plate to a plate collector.
