It not that NH necessarily want to enforce this new rule....However they are protecting themselves from neighboring states. I have registered my boat trailers in NH for many years. The first year I did it, as a non-resident I had to sign a waiver indicating that I would not take the trailer out of state. As I talked to the town clerk where I did this. It became very clear, that the issue was if I pulled the trailer into the state where I resided, and was pulled over, that quite often the state investigates why I have my trailer registered in NH and not that state. As part of the investigation the clerk told me, that they are often called by neighboring states, and question as to why they allowed this to happen. And then when the resident state decided to press some charges over taxes not payed on the trailer, then guess what the town clerk in NH is called again.... NH non sales / use tax situation for season home owners, has caused itself some grief... they are trying to put laws in place so that when people get in trouble in their home states, they can't get pulled into the mess.

If NH had a sales tax similar in rate to its neighboring states, this wouldn't even be an issue.... now please note that I am advocating NH start a new tax, just stating the reality of the situation.....
