SB508

Relative to the zoning board of adjustments appeal period.

Chamber Passed·2/26/26

SB508 modifies zoning board of adjustments appeal periods and revised plan acceptance in New Hampshire.

SB508 amends RSA 676 to allow appeals to the zoning board of adjustments within 30 days from the applicant, abutter, or municipality officers. It mandates that all grounds for appeal be stated in the initial notice. The officer from whom the appeal is taken must transmit all relevant papers to the board. Additionally, it introduces a new section requiring cities, towns, or municipalities to stamp and accept revised plans within 10 business days if they reflect requested alterations. Applicants are limited to one revision unless the initial revisions do not address specific comments.
