Conservation Restriction Assessment, RSA 79-B

It is the intent of the Conservation Restriction Assessment Program to provide for a fair, consistent, and equitable method of municipal assessment of conservation restriction land, which provides a demonstrated public benefit.  Applications for Conservation Restriction Assessment, Form PA-60, are available in the Assessor's Office.

Inconsistent Use Penalty on Conservation Restriction Land

If a landowner has property that is currently classified under Conservation Restriction Assessment, and develops or puts the land to a use, which violates its restricted classification, the landowner will be subject to a penalty. Additionally, such developed land will no longer qualify for Conservation Restriction Assessment.  For more information, contact the Assessor's Office or refer to the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Online.
