This example is meant as a guide to assist a municipality in creating their own warrant article developed to suit their own needs. Municipalities may adopt any one of the renewable energy property tax exemptions or any combination of the three or all three as in the examples. Municipalities are advised to review any warrant article language with the municipal attorney for proper form and compliance with all applicable state laws.
"To see if the town will vote to adopt the provisions of NH RSA 72:61 through RSA 72:72 inclusively, which provide for an optional property tax exemption from the property's assessed value, for property tax purposes, for persons owning real property, which is equipped with solar energy systems, wind-powered energy systems or woodheating energy systems intended for use at the immediate site. Such property tax exemption shall be in the amount equal to 100% of the assessed value of qualifying equipment under these statutes." |
