What is the Town Fee?

The town permit fee is calculated per RSA 261:153. The personal property tax (fee) is based upon the original list price of the vehicle. The tax rate for the current model year is $18/$1000 of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price when new. The rate then drops in $3 increments to $15, $12, $9, $6, and $3; however, the fee shall never be less than $5.00. The first owner’s date of birth determines when the registration will expire. The registration is prorated from the month of registration to the expiration month. This period will be calculated for no less than 5 months or greater than 16 months. In addition, each registrant is assessed $2 dollars for a town clerk fee (RSA 261:152). If you get your decals from the Clerk’s Office, the Town receives the Municipal Agent Fee of $3.00 per vehicle for this service.
