Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the New Hampshire real estate salesperson exam?
The New Hampshire real estate salesperson exam has 140 scored questions: 100 on the national general practice portion and 40 on the NH state-specific portion, for a total exam time of 4 hours. To pass, you must score at least 70% on each section separately — that means at least 70 correct on the national portion and at least 28 correct on the state portion. PSI administers the exam. The exam fee is $67, and you must pass within 6 months of completing your 40-hour pre-license course. Up to 8 retakes are allowed.
What is the NH Real Estate Transfer Tax?
New Hampshire Real Estate Transfer Tax (RSA 78-B) is assessed at $1.50 per $100 of the property's purchase price. The tax is split equally — each party pays $0.75 per $100. For example, on a $400,000 sale: total tax = $6,000; buyer pays $3,000 and seller pays $3,000. The deed stamp must be affixed before recording. There is no NH income tax and no general sales tax.
What additional fair housing protections does New Hampshire have?
New Hampshire Civil Rights Act (RSA 354-A) extends fair housing beyond the seven federal classes. In addition to federal classes (race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, familial status), New Hampshire also prohibits discrimination based on marital status, age (18+), and sexual orientation. These three additional classes are heavily tested on the NH state exam. Complaints are filed with the NH Commission for Human Rights (CHR) or HUD.
What is the Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act in NH?
RSA 483-B establishes a 250-foot protected shoreland buffer zone around qualifying surface waters (lakes, ponds, rivers, tidal waters). Within this zone, development is heavily restricted — impervious surfaces are limited, vegetation buffers must be maintained, and many structures require a NH DES permit. Licensees must disclose if property is within the protected shoreland buffer, as it significantly affects what an owner can build.
