Fees you can expect when getting trucking permits in Oregon, especially for oversize overweight and related permits
Fees for Oregon trucking permits

1. Basic Administrative Fees

  • State fee: About $80.00 per permit for most oversize/overweight permits (single-trip or annual) issued by Oregon’s Commerce & Compliance Division.  

  • County fees: Many counties levy their own administrative fee, typically up to $80.00 per permit, per county.  

Example: If you cross multiple county jurisdictions, you may pay *state + county fees for each.  

 

2. Road Use / Weight-Related Fees

If your load exceeds Oregon’s legal weight limits:

  • Road use assessment fees apply based on gross vehicle weight and number of axles — often a per-mile or formula-based charge.  

  • These are additional to basic administrative fees and vary depending on the severity of the weight overage.  

3. Temporary/Trip Permits (Non-OS/OW)

For trucks without proper Oregon registration or certain short-term needs:

  • Heavy motor vehicle trip permit: around $105 (valid ~10 days).  

  • Weight-mile temporary tax pass: $50 plus applicable weight-mile tax.  

4. Annual (Continuous) Permits

Annual permits allow repeated trips throughout the year for recurring oversize/overweight loads:

  • Annual permit costs can vary — sometimes referenced around $800–$1000 per vehicle (plus any heavy-weight component), depending on load type and limits. 

5. Additional Considerations

  • All administrative fees are due at application, even if the permit isn’t used.  

  • If a permit crosses multiple jurisdictions (counties), fees may stack.  

  • Fees can change over time based on state rule updates.
