A growing number of NH cities require landlords to register rental properties, pass periodic inspections, and pay an annual fee. Penalties for unlicensed operation typically include fines per day and, in some cases, retroactive return of collected rent. The rules apply to single-unit landlords, not just large operators.
Enforcement has shifted from complaint-driven to data-matching against utility and property-tax records. Many landlords discover they were non-compliant when they receive a back-fines notice years after acquiring the property.
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.
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.
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.
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.
