Homeowners' Associations

Covered in 2 owner guides

What this section does for you

The one HOA-specific voting protection in New Hampshire law: a two-thirds vote is required to change bylaws, budgets, or a management contract once a single person controls a majority of an HOA's votes.

Confirms New Hampshire's only HOA-specific statute addresses bylaw-amendment supermajorities and dissolution, not enforcement consistency — leaving non-condo owners with no statutory selective-enforcement hook.

I. For any homeowners' association established under this chapter, except those associations that include ownership through timeshare, if more than 50 percent of the votes are acquired by a single person after developer control is terminated, a 2/3 majority shall be required to amend bylaws, budgets, and any contracted property management service. II. No homeowners' association constituted under this chapter and approved by the planning board or similar land use body that has jurisdiction in the town or city in which the homeowners' association is located, shall be dissolved pursuant to the procedure in RSA 292:9 or RSA 292:10-a, prior to a hearing under RSA 676:2 before that same planning board or land use body.
