MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION:
Please note: per RSA 261:148, Permit Required, you are required to present your expiring registration in order for us to be able to process your renewal….always….every time.

The Town of Marlborough is now an On-line Municipal Agent with the State of NH. The renewal process for all of your registrations begins with you presenting to us your expiring registrations. This is required by law. PLEASE BRING WITH YOU ALL REGISTRATIONS THAT YOU WISH TO RENEW.

ATTENTION BOAT OWNERS:
Keep your municipal boat registration fees here in Town!!

John Fletcher of Family Barber, Bait & Tackle Shop is no longer registering boats for the Town of Marlborough. I would like to thank John for performing this task on behalf of the Town of Marlborough in the past.

You can now Renew the municipal portion of your boat registration at the Town Clerk's Office.

Simply bring the registration renewal form you received in the mail from the State of NH with the fees shown in the Boat Fee Due area to the Town Clerks Office and we will provide you with the receipt required at the DMV in Keene. By paying your boat fees in Town, the dollars you spend stay here in Marlborough. Unlike motor vehicle registration fees, boat fees may be paid in any town that accepts them, and your dollars stay at the location these fees are paid.

This process is for renewals only at this time. We are currently on a waiting list in Concord to process the entire boat registration for you.

ATTENTION DOG OWNERS:
All dogs four months or older must be licensed by May 1, 2009. Licenses are available from the Town Clerk's office at the Town Offices.

An animal population control fee is now part of the license fee. This money will be sent to the State and given to low income persons to have their dogs and cats sterilized. The fees are as follows:
$7.50 for neutered or spayed animal
$10.00 for female or male animal
Note: Persons over 65 years of age may license one dog for $3.00.

Late Fees: $1.00 per month shall be charged if fees are not paid by June 1, 2009.

Any owner keeping a dog contrary to the provisions of NH Statutes RSA: 466 shall forfeit $25.00 to the Town in which the dog is kept in addition to the above $1.00 per month charge.

Note: Marlborough's leash law has been in effect since 1975.

INVENTORY OF TAXABLE PROPERTY:
Please return your Inventory promptly. It is especially important that the census portion be filled in completely. This information is used for the school census and to compute our State Revenue Sharing. Inventories are due on April 15, 2009. After that date, a minimum penalty of $10.00 applies.

MAILING ADDRESS: If your mailing address should change please notify the Town Hall promptly in order to avoid delays in receiving your mail from the Town.

Publications include information on flood insurance, protecting a building from flooding, and community hazard mitigation. Contact the librarian for more information.
