Whether new or renewal, you should be able to do it by mail if you don't want to drive to NH in the winter. If part of your motivation is to help the local town, that's great. They need that money to maintain launch ramps, public docks, etc. That tax money will go to the town whether you register at town hall or at a marina in the same town. If you register with the state (not to be confused with a marine dealer in Concord), you save the $5 agent fee and the money goes to the state. Residence and property ownership don't matter and are not a requirement.

Bottom line, somebody in NH will always be happy to cash your check. We're just friendly that way.
