Property-tax appeals in New Hampshire
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in New Hampshire.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | Written abatement application to the municipal selectmen or assessors by March 1 following the notice of tax (the final tax bill), and not afterward (RSA 76:16). |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | Municipal selectmen or board of assessors; on denial (or no decision by July 1), the taxpayer elects either the NH Board of Tax and Land Appeals (RSA 76:16-a) or Superior Court (RSA 76:17) — not both — by September 1 following the notice of tax. |
No filing fee for the municipal application; the BTLA charges an application fee ($65 per the Town of Hanover) and Superior Court filing was listed at $180 by Hanover. Filing the BTLA appeal waives the Superior Court route (RSA 71-B:11). Only the owner of record as of April 1 of the tax year, or another aggrieved party, may apply. Keep the prior sourced figure in view: effective rate 1.50% (Tax Foundation via Lofty).
What wins in New Hampshire
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
