[Cal-to-NH]

Is it me, or are they late this year?
Has anyone else got their annual Registration from Concord yet?

They are redesigning the stickers and there will also be a second milfoil sticker. They hope to be mailing out registrations by year end. This was from Laconia City Hall last week

milfoil sticker? as in a new charge on the fees and having to put a second sticker on our boats?

[chaseisland]

Put into law 7/1/2019. A $20 fee for boats registered out of state to help control the weed. As I say "Live Fee or Die".

For out of state tagged boats only. Not needed for NH registered vessels.

One of the great achievements of the NH legislature is learning to "export" fees
and taxes. Of course, we welcome non-resident registrations so non-residents can pay the full fee, not just $20.

Any update? I haven't received my registration forms.

Happy New Year!

A “decal to show you paid your boat fees”
Isn’t that what the registration sticker was, then you have to pay a fee to show that you paid your fees
More and more like MA
Just raise the registration instead of insulting me further

Haven’t sent the registration into concord via mail in a long time
Am i just sending in the check with one of the registrations (owners copy) or all four they send you?

Gotta pay the sticker fee to fund the guys that run around making sure you paid the sticker fee..

You know this new triangle-2025 boat sticker will only cost you three dollars for the two new stickers for your boat, the same as one gallon of gasoline from a gas station, $3.00/boat.

This new triangle sticker is a work around legal mechanism that fixes their New Hampshire federal $1,500,000 funding, recreational boating law enforcement grant requirements administered by the U.S. Coast Guard so New Hampshire continues to get this funding in 2025.

January 2, 2025, Moultonborough news flash: http://www.moultonboroughnh.gov/Civi...s.aspx?AID=197

It is something about the New Hampshire redistribution of boat registration funds to the NH Fish and Game and the NH Dept Environmental Services which the Coast Guard says is a violation of the federal grant funding rules, or something. This is supposedly the same case for fifteen other U.S. states as well.

yup this is a sticker for NH registered boats,
the law passed in 2019 was a requirement of out of state registered boats to have a milfoil sticker for NH.

so NH boats will have two stickers on them for at total of four on the boat, seems pretty simple that you could have just raised the boat registration fee or maybe redesigned the single sticker, or anything more than spending more money and reducing the amount of the extra $3 they are charging you for the sticker.

Welcome to Northern Massachusetts - where we make you buy a sticker to prove your paid for the sticker it has to be displayed beside that is only good when you buy it every year - this seriously passed a two branches of government in a state without this being an issue? I could not even get it by my 18 year old

We hate having to put another sticker on our wooden boat.

Major I have not received my renewal letters yet either. I typically get them annually.

[Cal-to-NH]

Have not received mine, either. It does look like they're going out, finally.

[The Real BigGuy]

When you return w/payment will they send you both sticker types?

Hi folks:

Just called the State and they said it will take them until the end of February to get all of the renewals forms out. Assuming they meet that date, including the wait time for the actual decals, it should have them in our hands by April 1.

In the meantime, they said you can mail-in a renewal form yourself and it will make the process go faster - or of course go to any of the DMV locations with a renewal form yourself and get that stuff done even faster....

Your New Hampshire town hall will renew it while you wait.

Still have not received them. Looks like I will have to go to City Hall!

I received one yesterday. Waiting on the second one.

If my memory is correct, you send in all four and they return one of them to you.

In your January 2nd post above you attached a photo of the Department of Safety cover page that has the following directions:

"Please sign the owner's copy of the renewal notice and mail to the address below along with the fee..."

I have been renewing by mail for years and have only sent back the signed owner's copy and a check for the fee. I always get my registration certificate with a validation stamp and decals in return, and nobody has told me I am doing it wrong.

yes I agree, but there were others to sign that when I walk them into Glendale Marine Patrol they have me sign and take so I was confused as to why I would not have to send those in

It is confusing. I think the state sends all the forms so that the boater has the option to either register in person at a town office, MP, etc. where all the forms are necessary, or do it through the mail, in which case only the signed owner's copy needs to be dealt with.
