Oversize/overweight single-trip permit fees by state (2026)
By TruePermitReviewed by the TruePermit compliance teamUpdated
When a load exceeds a state's legal size or weight limits, you buy an oversize/overweight (OS/OW) permit before the move. Many states charge a flat base fee; others add a weight- or distance-based amount on top. Below is the official single-trip fee for each state — the state's price, before any permit-service markup. Superloads and blanket/annual permits are priced separately (noted per row).

Single-trip figures. Weight- or dimension-based charges are shown as their formula; blanket/annual and superload permits are priced separately (see row notes). Confirm the current fee and route requirements with the linked agency before you move.
An OS/OW permit is route- and load-specific: it authorizes one move of a non-divisible load that's over-width, over-height, over-length, and/or overweight. Because bridges and pavement wear scale with weight, most states layer a weight-based charge on top of a flat base — so the figures below are shown as a base fee or, where the state prices by weight or distance, as the formula itself rather than a fake single number.
These are single-trip figures. Carriers that run oversize regularly often buy a blanket or annual permit, and superloads (typically over ~120,000–200,000 lbs depending on the state) go through a separate engineering-review schedule. The row notes flag those where they apply.

Start freeFrequently asked
- How much is an oversize/overweight permit?
- The single-trip base ranges from about $6 to $60 across states, and overweight loads usually add a per-ton or per-mile charge. For example the base is $60 in Texas, $30 in Georgia and Connecticut, and $6–$30 in Maine. See the table for each state's official amount and formula.
- Why is the fee shown as a formula instead of a dollar amount?
- Many states charge a base fee plus an amount that scales with gross weight or the miles traveled (for example, $30 plus $5 per ton over the legal limit). Flattening that into one number would be wrong, so we show the actual base plus the formula.
- Is the permit good in more than one state?
- No. An OS/OW permit is issued by one state for travel within that state. A multi-state oversize move needs a permit from each state on the route.
- What counts as a superload?
- A superload is a load above a state's normal permit ceiling — commonly 120,000 to 200,000+ lbs, or beyond set dimensional limits. Superloads require a separate application, engineering/bridge review, and their own fee schedule.
