What is the tax year?
Throughout the state of New Hampshire, the tax year runs from April 1st through the following March 30th. Assessments of your property are made as of value on April 1st of each tax year and appear on your tax bill.
How often and when will I be billed?
There are two bills per year. The first bill of the year is an estimate, based on one half of the previous year's tax. This tax bill is printed and mailed out near the end of May and is usually due July 1st or 2nd each year.
The tax rate is set in the fall of the year, after which the final bill is printed. The final bill is calculated using the new rate multiplied by your property's assessed value as of April 1st less any payments made to the first bill. These bills are printed and mailed at the end of October, it is usually due December 1st or 2nd of each year.
What if I didn't get a tax bill?
Bills are sent to the address of the last known owner by state law. The Tax Assessor's Office updates its records according to deed transfers received from the Carroll County Registry of Deeds after they are recorded. Your attorney or closing company should have checked the status of taxes due. However, it is your responsibility, as the new owner, to make sure they are paid and to advise us of your mailing address in writing. If you have questions about this, refer to your closing statement and/or give us a call. Interest at 12% per annum is charged on tax bills not paid by the due date.
Do we have your correct mailing address?
All bills will be mailed to the address we have on file. If your mail has been forwarded by the post office, keep in mind they will only forward mail for ONE year. Please let us know if you have a new address.
