Property tax rate
The rate is in dollars for each $1,000 of a property's assessed value. It has four parts: the city's own, the county's, the statewide education tax, and the local schools'. New Hampshire names each rate by its tax year, which runs from April 1 to March 31; the DRA sets each town's rate in the fall.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $16.83 | $7.19 | $1.01 | $1.15 | $7.48 |
| 2024 | $15.90 | $6.68 | $0.85 | $1.15 | $7.22 |

When a city revalues its property, assessed values jump and the rate falls to match, so a lower rate doesn't by itself mean lower bills. Source: DRA, municipal tax rates (opens in new tab).
