Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted and face minimal regulatory burden in North Haverhill and the broader Town of Haverhill. No local STR permit is required. A proposed Short-Term Lodging Ordinance was presented at Haverhill’s March 2024 Town Meeting but residents voted to postpone it indefinitely, effectively defeating the measure. As of May 2026, no local permit, owner-occupancy requirement, primary-residence requirement, or annual rental night cap is in effect.
At the state level, New Hampshire’s Meals and Rooms Tax of 8.5% applies to all STR rental receipts for stays under 185 consecutive days. Operators must register with the NH Department of Revenue Administration. Platforms including Airbnb and VRBO collect and remit this tax automatically for NH hosts. Standard NH building and life-safety codes apply to all rental properties.
Investors should monitor Haverhill town meeting agendas, as the STR regulation issue may be re-introduced in future warrant articles. Enforcement severity is rated minimal. The regulation market score of 73.05 reflects the permissive current environment.
