Join NHFPI on Wednesday, April 22nd at 12:00 PM for a data-driven discussion of New Hampshire’s Property Tax.
Drawing on a new study from the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute, this webinar will examine:
- What property taxes are and how they are structured
- How property taxes vary across New Hampshire communities
- How New Hampshire property taxes compare to those in other states
NHFPI’s recent study found that New Hampshire relies on property taxes more than any other state nationwide, with Granite Staters paying among the most on a per capita basis. Additionally, the study found that how much you pay in property taxes can varies drastically by household income level and where you live. For example, Granite Staters with low incomes pay the highest share of their income in property tax rates (5.9% of income compared to 2% for the state’s highest earners). Additionally, a family living in a $500,000 house may have a $1,310 or $18,270 property tax bill, depending on what town they live in.
A short presentation and panel will be followed by audience Q&A.
Featured Speakers:
- Phil Sletten, New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute Research Director
- Gene Martin, New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute Executive Director
- Margaret Byrnes, New Hampshire Municipal Association Executive Director
Examining New Hampshire’s Property Tax is the third and final installment of NHFPI’s 2026 Taxes and Revenues in Focus Series, which explores how New Hampshire raises revenue and what those choices mean for families, communities, and public services across the state.
