The State, county, and municipal budgets all by law must balance.
Fat trimming depends on the level of government.
Locally in towns (cities are by representation), we vote the budgets for the schools and town. The county is by representation of members in the NH House that represent that districts. The State includes all the NH House members and the NH Senate, with either a concurrence by the Governor or a veto.
Vehicle registrations property taxes goes to offset the sum to be raised by real estate property taxes, along with other transfer funds/etc, to lower the real estate property taxes.
Pretty simple system that they teach us here in primary school.
