Booster Permit Wizard
Use the Booster Permit Wizard to temporarily increase a vehicle's weight limit for the amount of weight the vehicle can carry. The Booster Permit allows commercial and farm vehicles to boost the amount of weight the vehicle can carry for a minimum of one month but not more than eight months. In addition, boosters may not extend beyond the expiration of the regular registration.
Notes:
A Town can issue booster permits if they have the Truck Level 3 Authorization level.
Boosters can be issued for vehicles with class codes AC, AF, CC, CO, FM, TT or the Maine portion of AP (IRP registrations).
The fee
for a booster is the difference between the annual registration fee
for the original registration and the annual fee for the desired temporary
registered gross weight, multiplied by the percentage in the following
table:
Time Period |
Multiply Factor |
1 month increase |
20 % |
2 month increase |
30 % |
3 month increase |
40 % |
4 month increase |
50 % |
5 month increase |
60 % |
6 month increase |
70 % |
7 month increase |
75 % |
8 month increase |
80 % |
A municipal agent fee of $1 may be charged for booster permit transactions.
A form does not print for a booster permit.
Units and dollar amounts should be accumulated under the Increase Registered Vehicle Weight total on the Town Detail Report and Town Summary Report.
