Bill Overview

Cities can set energy upgrade districts

The law lets any city, town, village district, or a county for an unincorporated place create a clean‑energy and efficiency financing district. Cities, charter towns, and counties use their normal steps to pass local laws. In non‑charter towns and village districts, the board must hold at least one public hearing before a vote, and may vote at the hearing or later at a noticed public meeting. Notice must be posted at least 10 days ahead in two public places (one may be the website), show the proposed district boundaries, and include the full ordinance or where to read it. If the draft is changed in a real way, another hearing is required at least 14 days later. A petition by 50 registered voters puts the question on the next annual meeting warrant. A district may cover all or part of the town, and a town may later rescind it, but any signed agreements stay in force.

Lien notice recorded for upgrade financing

When a property has a C‑PACER special assessment, the municipality must record a notice of assessment and lien, and its assignment, at the county registry of deeds. The recorded notice must state: "This property is subject to a special assessment related to the installation of qualifying improvements under RSA 53‑F." This creates a public record so buyers and lenders can see the lien tied to the property.
