New Hampshire HB1691 limits land eligible for current use tax assessment and sets qualifications for agricultural and forestry operations.

New Hampshire HB1691 amends RSA 79-A to restrict eligibility for current use tax assessment on land. It limits individuals and entities to enrolling only one lot of land in current use, with specific acreage limits based on zone type. High-density zones, defined by population density or housing unit density, are ineligible for current use tax assessment. Agricultural and forestry operations must meet sustainability criteria, including invasive species management, prohibition of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and restrictions on monoculture, tillage, and bare soil.
