New Hampshire has the fourth-highest effective property tax rate in the nation at 1.86%. With no income or sales tax, New Hampshire relies almost entirely on property taxes to fund local services and schools.
New Hampshire municipalities assess and collect property taxes entirely locally. The state equalized ratio ensures assessments reflect market value. High reliance on property taxes to fund schools (New Hampshire has ongoing school funding litigation) drives rates up.

| $400,400 (median) | $7,447 | $620/mo |

New Hampshire offers elderly exemptions, blind exemptions, disabled veteran exemptions, and a solar energy systems exemption. Municipalities set their own exemption amounts. The Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief program also provides state-level circuit breaker assistance.
New Hampshire property taxes are due July 1 and December 1 in most communities (2 installments), though some towns bill only once annually.
Rockingham County and Hillsborough County have the highest rates and home values. New Hampshire's school funding system is under ongoing legal challenge, which may eventually force structural changes to reliance on property taxes.
