If that 18+ year old drives a car and registers it in their town in NH, then they are paying a tax.

There's more to the way that NH raises revenue than just property tax:

Interest & Dividends Tax
Inheritance and Estate Tax
Business Profits Tax
Business Enterprise Tax
Communications Services Tax
Electricity Consumption Tax
Meals and Rentals Tax
Tobacco Tax
Real Estate Transfer Tax
Timber Tax
Gravel Tax
State Education Property Tax
Utility Property Tax
Local Property Tax
Property Tax Rates
