Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 79:5

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Assessing officials: means those charged by law with the duty of assessing taxes in the city, town or unincorporated place. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 79:1
  • Owner: means :
    (1) For purposes of joint tenants or joint tenants with rights of survivorship, every owner that holds title to the subject property. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 79:1
Whenever it shall appear to the assessing officials that a town or city is unreasonably deprived of revenue because of the failure of an owner to cut standing wood or timber when it shall have arrived at the degree of maturity most suitable for its use, such standing wood or timber shall be taxed in the same manner as general property and be subject to the same rights of appeal, the intent being to prevent the holding of standing wood or timber indefinitely without the payment of any taxes. If such standing wood or timber is taxed under the provision of this section, such taxes shall be a credit against any yield tax later imposed.
