The short answer
An oversize permit is two costs stacked on top of each other: the state’s own permit fee, which you pay no matter who files it, and the service fee charged by whoever does the filing.
Across the 34 states that charge one flat rate, that state fee runs from $6 in New Hampshire to $75 in Ohio. That range does not describe every state, because 14 of the 48 do not use a flat rate at all — which is the whole point of this guide.
| Figure | |
|---|---|
| Lowest flat state fee | $6 · New Hampshire |
| Highest flat state fee | $75 · Ohio |
| States on a flat rate | 34 of 48 |
| States where the fee varies | 14 of 48 |
| Permigo service fee | $20 per state permit |
What you actually pay
The state fee is the state’s own money. It is identical whether you file the permit yourself, use Permigo, or use anyone else. What differs between services is the fee on top — and that is usually $24 to $40 per state. Permigo charges $20, flat, and bills the state fee at cost on the invoice.
So on a five-state run, the state fees are whatever the five DOTs charge, and the only number under anyone’s control is the service fee: $100 with Permigo, versus $120 to $200 elsewhere.
Why one number per state is a lie
Most permit-service blogs publish a single dollar figure for each state. For 34 states that is fine. For the other 14 it is wrong, because those states price on something that changes with your load. There are six distinct models in use:
| How the state prices it | States | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Flat rate | 35 | One price, whatever the load. |
| By dimensional envelope | 5 | Priced on the whole envelope — width and height and length together. |
| Per dimension | 3 | Each dimension priced from its own table. |
| By width | 2 | Steps up with width alone. |
| By gross weight | 1 | Steps up with gross weight. |
| Worst dimension | 1 | |
| Base plus per foot, per mile | 1 | Base fee plus per foot of excess, per mile run. |
The two that break a table hardest are worth naming. Wyoming charges a base fee plus a rate for every foot of excess for every mile you travel — the same load costs different money on a short run than a long one, so no single figure exists. Louisiana bills per operating day rather than per trip, so a two-day move is twice a one-day move.
Fee by state
All 48 contiguous states. Search by name or code, sort by state or fee, and open a row for the pricing model, the brackets where there are any, and a link to the DOT document the figures came from. States marked ± do not have one flat price.

The fee steps up in brackets as gross vehicle weight rises, so a light over-width load and a heavy one are not the same permit.

Full Wyoming rules →What pushes the price up
The headline fee is the floor. Four things commonly move the real cost above it, and none of them are service-fee items:
- Superload thresholds. Once a load passes a state’s superload line, most states switch to a different, higher schedule and add engineering or bridge review.
- County and city permits. A state permit stops where the state highway system stops. Routes that leave it need local permits alongside.
- Escorts and route surveys. Billed by the provider, not the state — and in some states a police escort is mandatory rather than optional.
- Distance and days. In the per-mile and per-day states, the route itself is an input to the fee.
