Document Overview

This document represents the current version of the Town of Deerings Municipal Ordinance.  This Ordinance has required updating to maintain consistency in appearance, consistency with referenced New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSAs), and to generally bring this Ordinance up to date.  This action was performed in two phases.  In August 1999, the Board compiled the existing ordinance into a single document, and updated it based on changes that have occurred in the RSAs over the years.  In the fall of 1999, the Board submitted this document to the Towns Attorney for review and comments as to the legal integrity of our Municipal Ordinance.  The Selectmen incorporated these recommended changes on February 16, 2000.  Code sections that have been modified were adopted by the Town at our March 18, 2000 Town Meeting.

Over the years a number of the sections of this Ordinance have been amended through modifications adopted at town meetings.  Ordinance code sections that have seen revision include a history of all revisions made.  Where applicable, a history of modifications to an Ordinance is listed in an indented paragraph below the associated Ordinance.  A key to the historical notes for this Ordinance is provided below
