Bill > HB585

This bill amends existing New Hampshire law regarding property tax exemptions for religious organizations by adding a new provision that grants these exemptions to rental properties. Specifically, a religious organization, defined as a single house of worship like a church, synagogue, mosque, shrine, or temple, can receive a property tax exemption on no more than one church parsonage or similar residential property and no more than one worship building, provided that any rental income generated is used for the religious leader's compensation, maintenance of the property, or funding of standard religious programs. This exemption is intended to support religious organizations by easing their property tax burden on certain rental properties, and it will apply to tax periods ending after December 31, 2024.
