Higher review thresholds for land projects
The law raises the state terrain-review threshold for properties not covered by RSA 483-B:9 from 100,000 to 200,000 square feet. For these properties, disturbing at least 200,000 but less than 300,000 square feet carries a $3,125 review fee. For properties covered by RSA 483-B:9, that fee covers at least 50,000 but less than 200,000 square feet. Each additional area of up to 100,000 square feet adds $1,250. Fees cover plan reviews, including project inspections, and must be paid when plans are submitted; unpaid applications are not accepted. Fee revenue goes to the Water Resources Fund. These rules take effect 60 days after passage. The fiscal note estimates that fewer state reviews shift some review work and costs to local governments.
