New Hampshire law provides that charter public schools are eligible to receive two types of grants through the School Building Aid Grant Program. The first type of grant allows charter conversion schools to receive funds to cover up to 30 percent of the costs related to construction. The second type of grant allows state-authorized charter schools to receive funds for up to 30 percent of the annual cost of leasing space. New Hampshire law provides that no state school building aid shall be awarded to a chartered public school for the purpose of acquiring land or buildings, or for constructing, reconstructing, or improving the chartered public school, unless the building is owned by the school district, under lease to the chartered public school, and such lease does not include an option to purchase the building.
New Hampshire law provides that charter schools are eligible to access tax-exempt financing through the New Hampshire Health and Education Facilities Authority.
Charter schools are exempt from state and local property taxes but only if they own the building or lease from a tax-exempt entity. Charter schools that rent or lease from an entity that is not tax exempt may request up to a 90% reduction in state and local property taxes.
