A. Yes. These include injunctions (RSA 676:15), cease and desist orders (RSA 676:17-a) and local land use citations (RSA 676:17-b). Look for detailed discussions of these enforcement mechanisms in future issues of Town & City. Also, the New Hampshire Bar Association publishes a Guide to District Court Enforcement of Local Ordinances and Codes that provides a more detailed description of the process.
