STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

 

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Nineteen

 

AN ACT relative to liability for deferred property taxes.

 

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

 

1  Persons and Property Liable to Taxation; Tax Deferral for Elderly and Disabled; Repayment of Taxes Deferred Prior to Foreclosure.  Amend RSA 72:38-a III to read as follows:

III.  If the property is subject to a mortgage, the owner must have the mortgage holder's approval of the tax deferral.  Such approval does not grant the town a preferential lien; however, if the property owner dies and the mortgage holder forecloses, the mortgage holder shall pay the deferred taxes plus any interest due in full and the municipality shall provide a recorded written release or satisfaction of the notice of tax deferral prior to sale of the property.

2  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect January 1, 2020.
