prohibiting the use of negative property tax rates in certain municipalities.

Summary

The bill would bar New Hampshire’s Department of Revenue Administration from accepting or setting any negative property tax rates for towns that have minimal or no public education expenses but still have taxable property. It targets those municipalities that might use negative rates to offset other budget items, aiming to keep property tax assessments aligned with actual fiscal needs. The measure failed after being deemed inexpedient to legislate.
