The salesperson exam has 120 scored items: 80 national in 150 minutes and 40 state in 90 minutes. Each portion must be passed separately (56 national and 28 state). Current PSI fees are $66 for both portions, $34 for national only, and $32 for state only. A new course is required after eight attempts or if both portions are not passed within six months from the original examination.

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.

RSA 354-A protects housing applicants and occupants on grounds that include the federal classes plus state protections such as age, marital status, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Use the current statute rather than memorizing an incomplete three-class list.

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.
