The ticket is only $100.00! What’s the risk $10.00.
I pay a lot of money for property taxes, thou I am not a full time resident I should be able to register my snowmobiles as a resident, why do you ask?
BECOUSE I PAY PROPERTY TAXES!

First of all not one dime of your Tax money goes to fund Fish and Game. It is supported by Registration Fees.
By joining a New Hampshire Snowmobile Club you get a $30.00 discount against your Registration Fee. This $30.00 is applied to as many Sleds as you want to register, say 1 to 5 sleds. That is a $150.00 savings. The money it cost you to join a club now goes to help support the Clubs DIRECTLY.
As for the FINES, your numbers are off. There are two fines that may apply here, the first not Registering is $120.00 per sled and then maybe one could conclude that if you are not Registered you will not have Registration Decals on your sled either. So maybe a resourceful Officer could issue you a summons for up to $180.00. It looks like a little more than $10.00. What is the phrase that fits here; SCOFFLAW?
I don’t think arguing with the Officer that you are a TAX PAYER is going to get you very far.
