Car registration

[DesertDweller]

That new legislation makes a lot of sense.

I am a Nevada resident and have a car registered in New Hampshire. It was a pretty easy process. I am in Moultonborough and did it at the town offices. They made me sign a form saying it wouldn't leave the state (for some period of time)which was easy for me because it's in the garage of my house the majority of the time. The only issue I have some years is that the inspection is due by the end of April and sometimes I don't make it up until May.

Ask your helpful town clerk about an INSPECTION EXTENSION state form:

Last summer, a guy I know from Florida got stopped by the NH State Police on Rt 93 for driving his '93 Ford Ranger with NH plates with an expired inspection sticker, and after showing the trooper some type of a state form that extends the inspection time due to a similar situation, the trooper said it was the first time he had ever seen one of these inspection extensions. The paper form was issued by the Franconia (Mittersill) town clerk.

He teaches tennis and has an ancient Ford Ranger with a lot of old yellow tennis balls stuck into the openings in the front radiator area which may have attracted the trooper's attention?

Do the math before you decide.

I registered my boat trailer in NH and can confirm, you may not leave the state overnight with a non-resident NH registration. No problem for my trailer as it goes from my NH residence into the water and back. However, with the registration fees, even with the MA state tax I avoided, I think I am breaking even. You may lose out when compared to FL. Then you also can't take that car out of state overnight, which may be more important for a car.
