To collect the fee.

Bingo. In NH vehicle inspections are essentially just a tax without calling it a tax. They use “safety” as the justification.

Conspiracy theories are fun but you must have never lived in a state without inspections. Sharing the road with a ton of polluting wrecks gets old, fast.

Have you not driven around this state recently? For a state with safety inspections our roads are also littered with clapped out polluting rust boxes.

I had an out of state plate and got pulled over for having a headlight out, then proceeded to see approximately 9 other NH plate cars with a headlight out lmao

I can see inspections happening each year, but why do I need to register my car each year aside from the fees.

Could be worse.

You could live in Vermont where the inspections are tougher and registration is $76 per year.

$76/year is a lot cheaper than in NH...

Depends on station. Some charge $20. Others charge $50. Highest I've seen is $65.

Didn't realize there were all kinds of bullshit town fees on top of the state fees...

It's not really bullshit any more than a tax is, but it's NH so it can't be a tax.

My car cost nearly $1k to register this year. But I didn't pay sales tax!

And it'll be cheaper next year.

The increased values of cars over the past few years doesn’t help the registration costs.
