I have two TT's, one Pup and one utility trailer. All have permanent tags. You can pay the registration for one year at a time or pay the fee which is equal to 2 years for permanent tags. With the permanent tags they can never be transferred to another trailer.

The following is from the DMV site regarding permanent trailer plates
Permanent License Plates for Trailers
Permanent license plates are available for all private, for-hire and rental trailers, regardless of their weight, for a one-time fee.
A registration card will be issued for a trailer with permanent plates.
The license plate will not have a month and year decal unless it is on a rental trailer, nor will it have a month or year expiration. Plates are embossed with the word "Permanent".
For trailers that have a gross weight of 4,000 pounds or less, you may choose a full size or small (motorcycle size) permanent license plate.
Permanent trailer plates for rental trailers will display an orange decal with a white "R" to designate the trailer as a rental.
There is no additional registration fee for as long as you own the trailer. If ownership changes new plates will have to be purchased.
To order permanent plates, complete a VSA-14 "Application for Registration" and check "permanent" for registration type.
Personalized messages are available for an additional one-time fee.
Permanent plates are neither transferable nor refundable.
If your permanent plate is lost, mutilated or illegible it can be replaced for a fee. (§46.2-692)
