Property Re Evaluation New City Council Faces Problem
Incoming Portsmouth council faces a rapid start on a property revaluation to align with a new uniform fiscal year beginning July 1972. Officials warn an 18 month budgeting window and potential across the board changes could complicate tax bills if equalization is delayed. A 1970 start aimed to raise city valuation from 140 to 155 million, with two billings likely during the period.

Court Rules For Council In Tax Row
The New Hampshire Supreme Court says the governor and council may seek an advisory opinion from Attorney General George Pappagianis to help decide actions protecting state interests in the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard tax dispute. The court notes the AG’s opinion does not bind the council, and stresses the governor and council may act for the state even while the AG offers guidance. The dispute centers on Maine tax effects and NH residents at the shipyard, with the AG declining to offer a formal opinion on merits but sharing a personal legal view that the tax is constitutional.
