New Hampshire HB1057 updates regulations on maintaining private roads held in common ownership.

New Hampshire HB1057 revises the law concerning private roads held in common ownership, clarifying definitions and maintenance responsibilities. It specifies that routine maintenance can be done voluntarily by any owner without prior consent. Owners must repair damage caused within five days of notice. In the absence of an agreement, owners must contribute equally or equitably to maintenance costs. The bill also allows for temporary repairs in emergencies without prior consent and mandates notice for proposed work.
