I understand they do it because they can and that the two are separate, I was just pointing out that in my opinion, there is an inequity in the process for those who are non resident land owners not by choice (I would rather live in NH) but because their career is in another state. Like I said above, it is small money and as it goes to the trails and those how maintain them, I am OK with it. I just think that owning a home in the area should afford everyone the same benefits primary residence or not.
