relative to the definition, inspection, and local approval of tiny houses and yurts as innovative housing structures.

The section number for 'Transportation of Mobile Structures' was changed from RSA 674:84 to RSA 674:83, repositioning where this provision will be codified in state law.

A cross-reference within the building code compliance section was corrected from 'under this subdivision' to 'under this section,' clarifying the legal reference point for off-site construction approvals.

The entire property tax assessment section (674:83) was deleted. This section had allowed municipalities to assess and collect property tax on innovative housing structures that were affixed to property, in a state of completeness or permanency, and located on the property for more than 180 days. It also required owners to notify the municipality upon removal for reassessment.

A new provision (Section IV of 155-A:3-d) was added requiring that off-site construction approvals for manufactured elements, if conforming to state building code, must be accepted by the local building official at the dwelling site for purposes of issuing a certificate of occupancy. This prevents municipalities from re-inspecting or rejecting already-approved off-site work.

A new provision (Section V of 155-A:3-d) was added allowing a municipality at the dwelling site to review submittal documents and inspect for compliance with the New Hampshire state building code, giving local officials some residual oversight authority even though off-site approvals must be accepted.

The definitions section (674:81) was restructured from a lettered subsection format (a through e) under an introductory clause to a Roman numeral format (I through VI), which is a formatting change consistent with New Hampshire legislative drafting conventions but does not alter the substance of any definition.

Tiny house size limit increased from 400 square feet to 600 square feet (excluding lofts), and the compliance reference changed from the 2021 International Residential Code Appendix AQ to the 'tiny home provisions of the state building code'

Yurt definition was drastically simplified: removed all specific structural requirements (heating, cooking, sanitary facilities, rigid frame, insulated walls, weather-resistant exterior) and redefined it simply as 'a style of tiny house that is a round or similar shape'

New 'off-site construction' definition added, covering tiny houses made or assembled in manufacturing facilities off the building site, explicitly excluding federally labeled manufactured housing, RVs, and park trailers

Tiny house on wheels definition simplified from a standalone definition with its own criteria to simply 'a tiny house built on a trailer chassis without motive power,' making it derivative of the (now broader) tiny house definition

The entire Municipal Inspections section (former RSA 674:83) was removed from the zoning chapter, including provisions for inspection standards, certificates of inspection, and third-party inspectors

New RSA 155-A:3-d added to the building code chapter requiring innovative housing structures to comply with state building code, with off-site construction subject to either state building code review or modular building requirements under RSA 205-C

Location and Use section now explicitly requires innovative housing structures to 'meet all applicable state laws and regulations regarding drinking water supply and wastewater treatment and disposal'
