How Much Are Property Taxes in New Hampshire?

🏡 How Much Are Property Taxes in New Hampshire?

New Hampshire has some of the highest property taxes in the country, but no income tax or sales tax — which balances things out for many residents.

Property taxes vary heavily by town. If you’re looking in Plymouth, Campton, Thornton, Bristol, Ashland, Rumney, or anywhere in Central NH, understanding local rates is important before buying.

Here’s how NH property taxes work and what you can expect.

🧾

How NH Property Taxes Are Calculated

Property taxes are based on:

Town tax rate

Assessed home value

Local school funding

Municipal services

Every NH town sets its own tax rate, so amounts vary widely.

Plymouth: ~ $18–$22 per $1,000

Example Property Tax Calculation

If a home is assessed at $300,000 and the tax rate is $20 per $1,000:

300 × $20 = $6,000 per year

NH tax bills are typically due semi-annually.

Why NH Taxes Vary So Much

Roads
