HB 1528 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to methods for rescinding local tax caps.

HB 1528 changes how New Hampshire towns can remove local tax caps. Towns that adopted tax caps before July 1, 2025 can now repeal them with a simple majority vote (50%+1), while towns adopting caps after that date would still need a 3/5 majority. The bill amends state law to create this distinction, making it easier for older tax cap policies to be removed. This directly affects towns that have implemented local tax limits under RSA 32:5-b, altering the voting requirement for their repeal. The change takes effect July 1, 2026, for the new provision.
