relative to municipal filings made by charitable organizations exempt from taxation.

HB 1317 updates the rules for charitable organizations seeking property tax exemptions in New Hampshire by requiring them to file annual financial statements with their local municipalities before June 1. The bill allows municipalities to charge a late fee of $50 per week for overdue forms but prohibits granting exemptions once the local tax rate has been approved for the year. It also empowers city assessors and selectmen to request specific organizational documents within 30 days, with failure to provide these materials potentially resulting in a denial of exemption. Additionally, the legislation expands the grounds for tax abatement to include "good cause" beyond just errors or inability to pay, while setting a March 1 deadline for applying for such relief.
