HB 645 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT requiring notice to the public of a change in land use subject to the assessment of the land use change tax.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Revenue and the New Hampshire Municipal Association state this bill will increase local expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2007 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state and county expenditures or state, county, and local revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Revenue Administration and New Hampshire Municipal Association state this bill will require public notice and posting of a change in land use and procedures for appealing such change. The increase in expenditures will depend on the number of land use change notices received by a municipality and the cost to post and publish the land use change. The Association states unless the landowner is charged the costs associated with this bill, the bill will mandate additional expenditures by municipalities in violation of Article 28-a of the New Hampshire Constitution.
