NHAR UPDATES

House rejects efforts
to roll back housing gains

Several bills introduced this session sought to undo hard-fought housing reforms enacted in 2025. Fortunately, the New Hampshire House of Representatives moved swiftly to stop many of these proposals. Last week, the full House voted down a number of bills, including: 

• HB 1098 :Would have eliminated the newly granted ability to build on a Class VI road.
• HB 1016: Would have made the construction of manufactured housing more difficult and costly.
• HB 1009: Would have increased minimum parking requirements for housing units.
• HB 1011 / HB 1012: Both bills were intended to roll back accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rights.

New Hampshire Association of Realtors testified in opposition to each of these bills. 

While additional proposals remain under consideration that would restrict private property rights and housing opportunity, the decisive rejection of these measures suggests that such efforts face a steep uphill climb this session.  READ MORE

Mandated Board Training Fails Test

HB 1802-FN-A would have mandated annual training, testing, and certification for all elected and appointed planning board and zoning board of adjustment members. The bill also required creation of a statewide system — run through the Office of Planning and Development (OPD) — to track and publicly post board member qualifications. Under current New Hampshire law, training for land-use board members is optional.  READ MORE
