Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Appeal of City of Berlin

January 12, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire reversed the Board of Tax and Land Appeals' decision and remanded because the Board improperly applied the 2017 Department of Revenue Administration median equalization ratio, which the City of Berlin had not used, to assess Public Service Company of New Hampshire's hydroelectric facility. The Court held that a taxpayer must prove the general level of assessment with evidence beyond an unused DRA ratio.
