Annual Oversize/Overweight Permit Guide by State

All annual permit categories are $100 per vehicle, per year. $4 credit card surcharge applies.

Alabama's $100 flat annual is among the cheapest in the country — the same fee covers all six categories above. The Emergency Tow permit allows the highest weight (160,000 lbs) and longest length (135'). Loads over 100,000 lbs on the Combination/Equipment permit require a separate routing authorization.

Envelope Permits (Annual / Multi-Trip)

Regulatory basis: ARS 28-1141; R17-6-411 (axle weight distribution); R17-6-212 (Class C Tridem)

AZ envelope permits cover pre-set dimension/weight ranges — loads exceeding the envelope require individual single-trip permits. The Tridem annual is a separate $1,500 permit governed by R17-6-212. Envelope modifications cost $25 or $50.

Arkansas does NOT offer a general-purpose annual oversize/overweight permit. Annual permits are only available for specific specialized categories:

Arkansas has no general annual OW permit — only these specialized categories. The $800 agronomic/horticultural fee (Rule 19) and $250/zone forestry fee (Rule 21) are set by ARDOT rules. The wrecker/tow and 57' trailer fees are set at $500 per the rules. Animal feed and farm equipment dealer fees are "up to $500" per statute.

California's $90 annual permit is a flat fee per vehicle. Permits require 14 business days for processing, and renewals may be submitted up to 60 days prior to expiration. Annual permits are prohibited from traveling on red routes per the Annual Pilot Car Map.

Annual Non-Divisible Load Permits

Annual Divisible Load Permits (Non-Interstate Only)

Longer Vehicle Combination (LVC) Permits

Colorado has one of the more complex annual systems with separate non-divisible, divisible, and LVC permit categories. The CFP fleet permit only makes financial sense at 8+ vehicles (7 x $400 = $2,800 vs. $3,000 fleet base). All NIOWD divisible permits are restricted to non-interstate routes.

Connecticut uses a weight-based formula ($9 per 1,000 lbs) rather than flat fees. The $12 transmittal fee increased from $5 in July 2022 per Public Act 22-40. Annual indivisible permits are restricted to CT-based carriers, and bulk milk permits run May 1 — Apr 30 with prorating available.

Delaware does NOT offer a general-purpose annual oversize/overweight permit. Most OS/OW moves require an individual single-trip permit ($30 base, plus $10 per 8,000 lbs over legal for overweight). For repeat haulers, DE offers several commodity- and configuration-specific multi-trip and annual blanket permits:

Multi-Trip & Annual Blanket Permits

The blanket crane and refrigerated-meat permits add an annual weight fee on top of the base:

• Weight fee = $10 per 8,000 lbs (or fraction) over the axle-based legal limit, multiplied by 52 weeks
• Example: a 3-axle crane at 84,000 lbs is 19,000 lbs over the 65,000 limit → 2 × $10 × 52 = $1,040/yr, added to the $1,500 base = $3,540 total
• Legal limits by axle count: 2 axles 40,000 lbs; 3 axles 65,000 lbs; 4 axles 73,280 lbs; 5+ axles 80,000 lbs

Blanket permits may NOT be used for superloads or on Interstate highways — interstate overweight moves require a single-trip permit each time so the Federal Bridge Formula can be applied. The Multi-Trip Interstate permit (Load Code 10) is the exception: it covers 60 interstate trips per year for 3–4 axle single vehicles that exceed the bridge formula, and is the closest DE has to a low-cost annual overweight option at $60.

Overweight — Annual 12-Month Multi-Trip

Overdimensional — Annual 12-Month Multi-Trip

Overdimensional — Towed Trailers/Equipment (Annual)

Special Permits (Annual)

Florida has the most granular annual system of any state — 8 OW tiers from $240 to $500, plus separate overdimensional tiers. The $500 tier covers up to 199k GVW; above that requires individual superload review and no annual is available. FL also offers 3-month route-specific permits at approximately 25% of annual cost. Current fee schedule effective 04/24/2018 per FAC 14-26.008.

The Standard Annual and Self-Propelled Annual are both $150 per O.C.G.A. 32-6-28. Only the Annual Plus and Annual Commercial Wrecker Emergency Tow are $500. The Annual Plus is limited to NHS/interstate/limited access routes.

Per-Mile Road Use Fees (OW, quarterly reporting):

• Column 1 rates: start at $0.04/mile, increase $0.04/mile per 2,000 lb increment
• Column 2 rates: start at $1.02/mile, increase $0.07/mile per 2,000 lb increment
• Vehicles with 7+ axles: add 17,000 lbs to table for each additional axle
• Vehicles below starting weight per axle config: $0.04/mile flat

Annual OS dimensions: Width: 16' (12'6" on red-coded routes), Height: 15'6", Combination length: 110' including load overhang.

Idaho's annual OW permit ($128) is a base fee — the real cost comes from quarterly per-mile road use fee reports based on laden mileage at the permitted weight level. Annual permits may not be issued for gross weights exceeding 200,000 lbs. The 129,000 lb interstate exemption under 23 USC 127 applies.

Illinois calls its annual/multi-trip permits "Limited Continuous Operation" (LCO) permits. They are available in 3-month and 12-month durations. Fees vary by load type, dimensions, and whether oversize-only or oversize+overweight.

Illinois has 14+ LCO categories ranging from $200 to $1,000 annually depending on load type, dimensions, and whether overweight. The general non-divisible OW+OS top tier is $1,000/year or $250 for 3 months. The 3-month option is available for most categories and ranges from $50 to $250.

Indiana does NOT offer a general annual overweight permit — annual permits are oversize-only at $405. Overweight loads require single-trip permits with per-mile fees. The only annual OW-related permits are the Sealed Ocean Container at $800 and the Divisible Load commodity permit at $20/year for ESAL<=2.4.

Annual Permits

Multi-Trip Permits

Iowa's standard Annual OS+OW is $400 (not to be confused with the $175 Raw Forest Products permit). The All-Systems Overweight Permit at $500 is valid on the broadest road network including county/local roads, effective July 1, 2025. Revenue allocation for All-Systems OW: 75% to Secondary Road Fund, 25% to Road Use Tax Fund.

K.S.A. 8-1911(f) sets the annual permit fee at a flat $200. HB 2225 (effective July 1, 2019) increased the annual fee from $150 to $200 and eliminated the previous interstate/non-interstate fee split. Kansas state highway legal GVW is 85,500 lbs due to state bridge formula; interstate remains 80k federal.

Kentucky's two main non-divisible annual permits are A01 at $250 (<14' wide) and A02 at $500 (14'–16' wide), both covering up to 160,000 lbs GVW. Specialty categories include Farm permits (A03 at $80, A04 at $150), Metal Commodities (A05 at $1,250), and Manufactured Home (A10 at $1,500).

Annual Permits

Semi-Annual Permits

Louisiana has one of the most extensive annual permit systems in the country with 24 annual categories alone, ranging from $10 to $2,500. The OS/OW heavy equipment annual is $2,500 covering up to 120,000 GVW. Effective September 2, 2025, all new annual OS/OW heavy equipment permits require a Registered Route via LaGeaux prior to each move.

Annual Permits

Overdimensional (long-term):

Overweight — Load Carrying Vehicles (long-term, per month):

Overweight — Class A Special Mobile Equipment:

Combined OW + OD: $25/month OD fee added on top of the overweight fee.

Long-term permits are vehicle-specific, issued monthly for 1-12 months. At full 12-month term: OD-only = $300/yr; 6-axle OW at 110k = $1,080/yr; 6-axle OW at 120k = $1,800/yr; 7-axle OW at 110k = $780/yr; 7-axle OW at 120k = $1,380/yr; Class A SME = $300/yr. The 7+ axle configuration is cheaper than 6-axle because the weight is better distributed.

Annual/Multi-Trip Permits

The blanket permit covers oversize vehicles up to 75'L x 12'W x 14'H, and overweight special mobile equipment up to 90,000 GVW (45 tons). The blanket permit allows travel on any SHA highway without reporting individual moves. Above those limits, single-trip special hauling permits are required.

Annual/Multi-Trip Permits (700 CMR 8.06(4) Table 1)

The $400 annual fee covers non-divisible loads exceeding any legal limit for size and weight. Permits are issued through the OASIS system (oasis.massdot.state.ma.us). The MassDOT permits page directs users to OASIS rather than listing specific fee amounts.

Annual Permits

Michigan calls these "extended transport permits" rather than "annual permits." Permits expire on a staggered schedule based on the first letter of the permittee's last name. The $100 OW annual is among the cheapest in the country for general OW. Max dimensions on extended permit: W 16' (14' during spring thaw), L 150', H 15'.

Annual Permits

Annual Overweight Fee Schedule (for OW annual permits):

Multi-Trip (Job Permit):

Seasonal Permits:

Minnesota has 20+ annual permit categories with fees ranging from $60 to $900. The $120 fee applies to several OS-only annual permits (construction/farm equipment, manufactured homes, mobile crane, boat hauler, new trailers). The OW annual fee schedule goes up to $900 for 145-155k GVW. MN also offers a 60-day multi-trip "job permit" at $36.

Annual Permits

The $4,500 special heavy haul blanket allows up to 150,000 lbs and is vehicle-specific, up to 14' wide. All blankets are issued for 1 year, not prorated, and require valid insurance or US DOT number.

Annual Permits

Single commodity categories (each $128/yr): manufactured/sectional homes, farm products (hay), farm implements/construction equipment, implements of husbandry, repeated moves of like objects (boats, portable buildings, trusses, steel, pipe, tanks, etc.).

All annual permits expire Jan 1 and are prorated quarterly. The OW annuals are restricted to specific equipment types — no general non-divisible OW annual exists.

Annual Permits — Oversize (MCA 61-10-124)

Max dimensions for annual OS term permit: W 15', L 95', H 15'6" (or 14' per department determination).

Annual Permits — Overweight (MCA 61-10-125)

Seasonal/Multi-Trip

OS annual term permit is $75 per MCA 61-10-124. OW annual term permits range from $200-$4,000 based on excess axle weight tiers per MCA 61-10-125. Max dimensions on OS annual: 15' wide, 95' long, 15'6" high.

Annual / Multi-Trip Permits

The continuous envelope permit is tiered at $25/$50/$75/$100 based on duration. Legal GVW on state highways is 95,000 lbs (not 80k). Statute 60-6,298(7) sets the statutory caps; Admin Code 408 ch.3 sec.009 sets the operational fees at those caps. Statute was amended by LB561, effective May 16, 2025.

Annual Permits

Annual permit dimension limits:

Additional info:

• Commodity Permit: allows legal-dimension reducible loads up to 70 ft in length to run over 80,000 lbs with legal axle weights (fee not publicly listed; varies)
• No vehicle on a continuous/multiple trip permit may exceed 20,000 lbs on any single axle (NRS 484D.735)
• Permits available online at odvp.dot.nv.gov
• 7-day service goal on annual permit requests

The $60 ODV Annual is the primary annual permit, primarily for oversize (over-dimension), with a 20,000 lb single axle cap under NRS 484D.735. Annual permits are truck-specific, not commodity-specific, and do not require a route.

Annual Permits

Maximum limits on annual permits:

• Length: 75 ft
• Width: 10 ft 6 in
• Height: 13 ft 6 in
• Weight: NH Legal Registered Weight GVW

The $60 local permit is specifically for a 100-mile radius and is only available to NH-based and NH-registered carriers. The $115 statewide annual is available to all. Annual permits do NOT cover overweight — they are for legal weight only. Any non-divisible load exceeding legal weight on an annual permit must apply for a supplemental permit. NH Turnpike has separate permitting.

Annual / Multi-Trip Permits

Code 23 details:

• Code 23 registration ($209.50/yr) is paid to MVC and is a prerequisite for permit applications
• Code 23 OW/OD Route Specific Permits are per-trip (each one-way, valid 30 days), no base fee or excess weight fee, only $12 transaction + 5% service charge
• Code 23 Overdimensional Trailer Permit covers trailers up to 10 ft wide / 70 ft overall length, valid for life of trailer

Ocean-borne container limits:

• Max GVW: 90,000 lbs
• Max tandem axle: 38,000 lbs (34,000 on second tandem)
• Max tri-axle: 56,400 lbs

NJ does not offer general annual OS/OW permits. The Code 23 system is a registration + per-trip route permit structure, not a true annual blanket permit. The $209.50 is a vehicle registration fee, not a permit fee. The only true annual multi-trip permit is the ocean-borne container permit at $117.60.

Annual / Multi-Trip Permits

Multiple trip permit limits:

• GVW: up to 140,000 lbs
• Width: up to 14 ft
• Height: up to 15 ft
• Front overhang: 15 ft
• Rear overhang: 25 ft

The $250 multiple trip permit covers combination vehicles within specified limits and is valid for 1 year. NM's legal GVW is 86,400 lbs based on their bridge formula. Vehicles with loads up to 96,000 lbs operating within 6 miles of the Mexico border are not required to demonstrate the load is non-divisible. Vehicles over 170,000 lbs require a special permit with engineering review.

Monthly Permits

Annual Permits

Other Multi-Trip Permits

New York has 9 annual permit types ranging from $360 to $900. Monthly options are available for most categories. NY Thruway Authority has separate permitting.

Annual Permits

General Non-Divisible Commodity Details:

• Width: 12' max (14' for farm equipment with special restrictions)
• Height: 14' max (legal)
• Length: 105' max
• Weight: 132,000 lbs max

Weight by Axle Count (with min 51' extreme wheelbase):

• At or below 90,000 lbs: unlimited movement on all NC highways (no route-specific approval needed)
• Above 90,000 lbs: requires specific routes (up to 10 routes per permit)
• Continuous travel (24/7/365) authorized if GVW does not exceed 112,000 lbs and no other over-legal dimensions

The $185 per vehicle for general non-divisible commodity is a single permit — weight limits vary by axle count, not by separate permit type. The 90k threshold separates unrestricted travel from route-specific travel.

Annual Permits

129k Primary Network Permit Details:

• Divisible loads only, up to 129,000 lbs GVW on designated routes
• All axle weights must be legal
• No single trailer may exceed 53'
• Cargo carrying length may not exceed 100'
• ND-registered vehicles must be licensed for 105,500 lbs GVW
• Out-of-state vehicles not licensed in ND or not registered for 105,500 under IRP subject to $20 72-hour trip permit

Annual Overwidth Permit Details:

• Width up to 14'6"
• All other dimensions (length, height) must be legal
• All axle weights, bridge lengths, and GVW must be legal
• Must be non-reducible for width unless overall width is 10' or less
• Excludes hay, straw, and manufactured homes

Annual Overlength Permit Details:

• Length up to 120'
• All other dimensions (height, width) must be legal
• All axle weights, bridge lengths, and GVW must be legal
• Excludes hay, straw, and manufactured homes

Seasonal/Multi-Trip

ND does not appear to offer a general annual overweight permit for non-divisible loads — only the 129k divisible load annual and the OS-only annuals (overwidth/overlength). The annual overwidth ($150) and overlength ($150) permits allow carriers to avoid individual trip permits for loads within those dimension limits.

Continuing Annual Permits (365 days)

Maximum limits on continuing annual:

• Width: 14 ft
• Height: 14 ft 6 in
• Weight: up to 120,000 lbs

Blanket Permits (365 days)

Ohio's continuing annual permits are among the priciest in the country, reflecting the state's toll-like structure for heavy haul. The "Operation Open Roads" blanket permit program for loads up to 90,000 lbs without pre-approval has been continued beyond its pandemic-era origins. Loads that are both OS and OW pay the combined OS/OW rate, not separate fees.

Annual Permits

Multi-Trip (Non-Annual)

Oklahoma has 14+ annual permit categories ranging from $10 to $4,000. The $4,000 Annual Envelope Vehicle Permit covers up to 120,000 GVW on approved non-interstate routes and is the primary annual option for heavy haul. Special Purpose Annual permits ($10/$60/$70) expire December 31 regardless of issue date, while all other annual permits run date-to-date for 12 months.

Annual Permits

Oregon's primary annual permit is the COVP — $3 to ODOT plus $8 per local jurisdiction included on the permit (reduced to $5.25/jurisdiction when agent-issued). Per ORS 818.270, the maximum fee is $8 per road authority plus up to $5 additional for private contractor issuance. Extended weight and heavy haul annual permits are available but fees are determined through ODOT's ORION permitting system rather than being flat statutory rates.

Annual Permits

Seasonal Permits

Pennsylvania has one of the most complex annual permit systems in the country with dozens of commodity-specific annual permits. There is no single "general annual oversize" permit — PA uses commodity-specific annual permits, each with its own fee. The 2025 fee schedule took effect July 1, 2025.

Annual Permits

The $100 blanket annual covers oversize/overweight movements within specified limits (up to 75' length, 11' width per the regulations) for intrastate moves only. The $400 construction equipment blanket (RIGL 31-25-21(d)) exempts the holder from single-trip fees for non-divisible construction equipment loads under 130,000 lbs. Single trip permits are $20.

Annual Permits

• Superload Application Fee (non-refundable): $100
• Superload Engineering Analysis >130,000 lbs: $100
• Superload Engineering Analysis >200,000 lbs: $200
• Superload Engineering Analysis >300,000 lbs: $350
• Superload Impact Fee (all loads >130,000 lbs): $3 per 1,000 lbs
• Megaload Impact Fee (>500,000 lbs): $0.05 per 1,000 lbs per mile
• Administration Fee for Prorating Active Annual Permits: $10
• Administration Fee for Road Machinery Permits: $10
• Credit Card Processing Fee: $5

South Carolina's $100 flat annual permit is one of the most affordable in the country. The fee schedule was last revised July 1, 2012 and has not changed. Loads over 130,000 lbs trigger superload fees regardless of permit type.

Extended Period Permits — Oversize

Extended Period Permits — Overweight / Interstate

Extended Period Permits — Agriculture / Specialty

South Dakota does not offer a general annual OW permit for non-divisible freight. Instead, SD uses an extensive Extended Period permit system — most categories are $60 flat. The Multiple-Trip Construction Equipment permit is uniquely cheap at $5/county/month (max $20/month) but is not valid on interstate. The LCV permit covers up to 129,000 lbs but is sold in books of 10 single trips, not as a true annual.

Annual Overweight Permits

Annual Over-Dimension Permits

Annual Specialty Permits

Tennessee charges separate annual fees for over-dimension and overweight — loads that are both OD and OW must pay both. The OW annual ranges from $750 (up to 100k) to $3,500 (up to 165k), while each OD annual is a flat $100. Tennessee also offers extensive specialty annual permits for mobile homes, tow trucks, ocean containers, and non-commercial boats.

Annual Permits

Time-Based (Multi-Trip) Permits

Texas has one of the most extensive annual permit systems in the country with 20+ categories. The $4,000 envelope permit (12' wide, 14' high, 110' long, 120,000 lbs max) is the primary general-purpose annual. The Over Axle/Over Gross Weight Tolerance permit scales by county count from $270 (1--5 counties) to $1,095 (statewide). TX also offers 30/60/90-day width/length permits at $120/$180/$240.

Annual Permits (365 days)

Semiannual Permits (180 days)

Utah uses a 3-tier GVW structure for both annual and semiannual permits. The statute distinguishes between nondivisible (up to 125k) and divisible load (up to 129k) permits. Semiannual runs 75--78% of annual cost, making the annual the better value for year-round operations.

Annual Permits

Vermont offers both oversize blanket permits and special excess weight permits as annual options. Permits expire with vehicle registration (out-of-state vehicles expire Dec 31). The special excess weight permits are annual overweight permits for divisible loads at specific weight tiers — upgrades to heavier weights require paying only the fee difference.

Annual/Blanket Hauling Permits

• Mileage fee: $40/year added if overweight or unlicensable configuration
• Damage fee: $360/year added if overweight
• Single trip: $20 base + $0.30/mile if OW or unlicensable

Virginia's OS-only blanket is $100/year with no mileage or damage surcharges. Overweight blankets total $500/year once mileage and damage fees are added. A 2-year option is available for both OS and OW blankets. The $250 overload permit is a separate DMV program for a 5% weight extension (up to 84,000 GVW, state roads only, not interstate).

Annual/Multi-Trip Permits

Washington does not offer a general annual OW permit for non-divisible freight — all general OW moves require single-trip permits. However, the state does offer commodity-specific and equipment-specific annual permits as listed above. Max dimensions for annual oversize are W 14', H 15', L 125' trailer/load.

Annual Permits

• Low Impact Bridge Monitors: $150 first bridge, $100 second bridge, $50 each additional, max $750

Blanket permit limits:

• Interstate & divided routes: 14'6" H, 14' W, 95' L, 15' overhang, 110,000 lbs
• US and selected routes: 14' H, 12' W, 75' L, 10' overhang, 90,000 lbs
• All other routes: 13'6" H, 12' W, 75' L, 10' overhang, legal weight
• Axle limits (OW permit): 28,000 single, 45,000 tandem, 50,000 tridem
• Manufactured Commodity: max 120,000 lbs, requires engineering analysis, not valid on interstate

West Virginia's blanket permit system has different dimension and weight limits depending on route type. The OS-only blanket is $200/year and the OS+OW blanket is $500/year. The Manufactured Commodity blanket ($500) is a separate annual category for loads up to 120,000 lbs requiring engineering analysis and is restricted to non-interstate routes.

Multiple Trip Permits (3--12 months)

Oversize Only:

Overweight or OW+OS (by weight tier):

Commodity-Specific Permits:

• FF — Agricultural products to/from farm (80,001--90,000 lbs, 6+ axles, no interstate except I-41 segment)
• RF — Raw forest products, fruits, vegetables at 90,000 lbs
• RS — Raw forest products at 98,000 lbs (6+ axles, no axle >18,000)
• FMP — Fluid milk products at 98,000 lbs (6+ axles)
• MH — Mobile home/modular (15' W box, 16' W roof, 100' L, legal weight)

• PB — Potatoes bulk (max 90,000)
• PS — Potato seed (max 90,000)
• MPB — Milk product byproduct

Wisconsin's multi-trip permits are available in 3, 6, 9, and 12-month terms. The general AA category allows up to 170,000 lbs. Weight must be rounded up to the next 10,000 lb increment. Divisible load multi-trip permits are not valid during spring thaw except where specified, and permits are not valid on posted bridges.

Extended Period Permits (No Annual Permit Available)

Wyoming does NOT offer an annual oversize/overweight permit. The longest multi-trip option is 90 days.

Class D Permit Limits (Extended Period)

Wyoming uses a permit class system (A through W). Class D is the closest to an "annual" permit — it's an extended period permit for a specified vehicle on specified routes, but duration is not capped at 90 days like E/F. Class E (oversize) and Class F (overweight) are commodity-specific and capped at 90 days. Class F permits are valid on primary and secondary highways only — no interstate. All overweight fees include a $0.06/ton-mile component based on excess weight over statutory limits.
