I would like to object to HG 1707 because it has vague language that will penalize New Hampshire citizens and do nothing to achieve the goal for which it was written. (Overseeing short term rentals.) My wife and I own two properties in Meredith, one is out primary residence and the other is 10 acres of woods with a small building and several outbuildings. I use this second property as a non-commercial workshop, (I am a hobby woodworker). And I am maintaining the woods in good condition with the hope of eventually donating them as a preserve. The property is adjacent to town owned land. Because I live in my primary residence I do not occupy the second property but I still use it as a wood shop on a regularbasis. I do not now and never intend to use it for a short term rental. Yet, because I live elsewhere in Meredith, I risk having my property tax doubles..
