Heavy Haul FAQ · Sourced from state DOTs
The state permit fees we could confirm from official sources, and why the fee is usually the smallest part of an oversize move.
Last verified: against official state sources.
Short answer
A basic single-trip oversize permit costs between $10 and $30 in the states that publish a flat fee: $10 in Montana, $15 in Arizona, $25 plus mileage charges in Wyoming, and $30 in Utah and Colorado. Overweight permits, superloads and per-mile charges cost more, and many states do not publish a single flat fee.
