Estimate only, not a quote. The base fee covers a legal-weight single move at the lowest permit tier the state publishes; overweight tiers, escort vehicles, route surveys, and superload reviews cost more. Length, overhang, and weight limits are not checked here. The full limit and fee table for all 51 jurisdictions, including issuing agencies, is at oversize permit costs by state. Confirm every figure with the issuing agency before the move.

About this tool
Enter your load's width and height and this tool lists every state that calls the load oversize, next to the single-trip permit base fee each agency publishes. Published base fees run from $5 to $75, legal width sits at 8 ft 6 in almost everywhere, and 3 states quote each move instead of posting a flat fee.
The default dimensions match the most common legal envelope, so the results start close to empty. Raise either number and states drop into the list the moment your load passes their limit, each with the fee its agency or statute publishes and a source marker you can verify.
Where permits fit in the bigger cost picture
Oversize permits are per-move paperwork on top of the registrations a carrier holds year round. The company behind the truck still needs its operating authority, and heavy-haul lanes often cross the four weight-distance tax states, which tax the same miles the permit authorizes. Pricing a whole heavy-haul launch rather than one move? Start with the trucking startup cost calculator and keep the full oversize permit table open for the state-by-state notes this tool summarizes.
