Tax Rate Information
How Tax Rate is Set
The NH Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) reviews all budget appropriations approved by the City, County and Schools and all revenues expected. That information is used to calculate the local property tax rate as follows:
(Voted Appropriations – All Other Revenue) / Local Total Assessed Property Value x 1,000 = Tax Rate per 1,000 of property value
The certified rate is typically received by the City from the DRA in November. Bills are then issued and due in December.
