Default Boat registrations

If more than one boat is registered in NH, does the DMV send both registration bills at once, or is each mailed separately? I received one a few weeks ago, but not the other yet. Just making sure.

Separately. Mine came a few weeks apart.

Here too.

I have several boat registrations that all came in separate envelopes at separate times. It would be nice if the State could consolidate them into one envelope, thus saving postage, and also hassle to the owners.

I mailed mine back to the Gilford Clerk's office with the $5 added for the town.

My understanding is that the town gets a portion of the registration fee if you do it that way.

If you mail the renewal to the state the town does not get the money.

Doesn't the town only get the $5 extra people pay? I thought that was what they made, not any more of the actual registration fees.

When I spoke to one of the women at the Gilford Clerk's office this morning she told me that they got some of the fee too, but only if it is done at the town.

That could be wrong. I haven't confirmed it.

Does anybody know for sure? Honestly, I would rather all my money go to MP, so if the town gets more than the $5, I'd skip town hall.

Default Fees and taxes

There is a registration fee and a tax. In general the tax goes to the taxing authority, town or state, depending on where you pay. If you pay in Gilford, at the Town Clerk's office or a marina, the tax goes to the town. My recollection is that this amounts to $300-$400K in Gilford. Historically, the Gilford Island Association has encouraged islanders to pay in Gilford to support Glendale. If you register at MP HQ in Glendale, there is no local benefit. There is also a $5 agent's fee collected by whatever agent does the paperwork. If you mail to Concord or MP HQ, there is no agent, so no $5. Buried in the state registration fee, there is money for Fish & Game, Milfoil, Navigation Safety Fund, etc. There is even $1 available to Town Clerks since the law authorizing them to do registrations would be an unfunded mandate if that $1 weren't there. Much of this used to be printed on the back of the old registration, deleted when the forms changed.

Default Boat Desk

I had an interesting situation. We typically register our boat and wave runner by mail. This year, we only received the renewal application for the wave runner. The application for the boat was lost in the mail. (My wife can see the mail that is to be delivered on her phone and noticed that we should have received the application for the boat the same day that we received the application for the wave runner.)

Anyway, I called the Boat Desk, and the woman stated that I should make a photo copy of last year's boat registration and mail that in with the check for last year's amount, along with our wave runner application. I put a note on the photocopy stating that the application to register the boat was lost in the mail.

Guess what?! We received both the boat and wave runner registrations yesterday! It worked!

I have already received 3 registrations renewal forms and actually have one registered (and used) for 2023. They arrived in the mail spread out over about 7 days.

I received one registration and sticker in November and have not received my other boats registration “bill” at all. Seems odd.

Did you ever get yours in the mail? I received one in November but not the other. I called DMV today. After waiting on hold for 30 minutes I finally got someone and they said mine must have been lost in the mail because the last batch went out at end of December.
