It feels to me that if you are fortunate enough to own multiple properties, you are penalized for being fortunate. It is only a few dollars so it is not really a big deal, but IMHO there is a gap in the thought process.
That said, if the money goes to supporting the trails, I am good with it.

Homeowner tax is paid to the town and county while snowmobile registration is paid to the state. Different entities, different thought processes. There may be some property tax paid to the state, but I don't think it's much. At the end of the day, the state charges more because it can. Just like some states levy income taxes on out-of-state workers, because they can.
