Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

Variance, special-use permit, or full rezone — knowing which to ask for.

A variance asks the board to bend the rule for your specific lot due to hardship; it is the narrowest and fastest path. A special-use permit (sometimes called conditional-use) accepts the underlying zoning but adds conditions for a specific use. A full rezone changes the district itself and requires the broadest political process.

Why It Matters

Filing the wrong instrument is the most common cause of months-long delays. The right instrument can shorten an entitlements timeline by 60-90 days versus the wrong one.

3.2

A 5-minute checklist before pulling a building permit.

The most-rejected permit applications fail on documentation completeness, not project merit. A reliable pre-submission check covers four things: (1) parcel zoning matches intended use, (2) setback dimensions match the survey, (3) any required HOA or design-review sign-off is attached, (4) contractor license number is valid and unrestricted in the issuing jurisdiction.

Why It Matters

Permit re-submission resets the queue clock in most NH jurisdictions, adding 2-6 weeks to a project. Catching documentation gaps before submission is the cheapest schedule recovery tool an owner has.

3.3

Three deadlines that kill 1031 exchanges.

A 1031 like-kind exchange has three hard clocks: the 45-day identification window, the 180-day close window, and the same-taxpayer rule (the entity selling and buying must match). Missing any one of these collapses the deferral, exposing the full gain to tax. The most-missed is the same-taxpayer rule when LLCs change membership mid-exchange.

Why It Matters

The tax exposure on a busted exchange is the full long-term capital gain plus depreciation recapture — often 25-30% of the basis difference. Process discipline is the only protection.
