HOA rules in New Hampshire

New Hampshire splits condominiums and ordinary homeowners' associations. Condominiums created on or after September 10, 1977 are under RSA 356-B (Condominium Act); older condominiums may still answer partly to RSA 479-A. New Hampshire has no comprehensive planned-community HOA statute, so non-condo associations generally run on recorded covenants plus RSA 292 if incorporated. Confirm which track applies, then confirm the current RSA text and your documents. This page is general information, not legal advice.

RSA 356-B does not create a standalone statutory fine schedule or a numbered hearing-day procedure comparable to Uniform Act "notice and opportunity to be heard" fine clauses. Enforcement and any fines generally come from the condominium instruments and RSA 356-B:15 (compliance actions; prevailing-party fees). Do not invent a hearing-day count or dollar fine cap.

Condo assessment liens under RSA 356-B:46 must be perfected by recording a verified memorandum within 6 months after the assessment becomes due; a limited 6-month regular-assessment priority over the first mortgage is available only if statutory notices were sent, and that priority expressly excludes special assessments, late charges, fines, penalties, and interest. Financial information and minutes have disclosure deadlines under RSA 356-B:37-e. New Hampshire has no statewide HOA ombudsman on this page.
