MOTOR VEHICLE STATE FEES: The state’s budget (HB2) has passed. The budget will cause multiple changes to DMV/State fees that will take effect on January 1, 2026. This means your vehicle registrations will cost more than usual, even if your renewal notice shows a lower fee. Please see the spreadsheet of affected fees which has been created and provided by the state.

DMV APPOINTMENTS: All New Hampshire DMV locations are now requiring appointments. You may visit www.nh.dmv.gov or call 603-227-4000 to schedule an appointment.

STATE INSPECTIONS: New Hampshire state inspections for private passenger vehicles in NH will no longer be required starting in January 2026 (HB649). This will eliminate the requirement of a physical safety inspection and on-board diagnostics testing for all private passenger vehicles.

You may contact the Town Clerk’s Office at 603-474-3152 if you have further questions.
