Property Bureau

The Municipal and Property Division assists and educates municipalities with the methods of appraisal and assessment of real property including exemptions, tax credits and current use. The division develops and presents educational classes on assessing related fields statewide. At no expense to the municipality, the division monitors revaluations for quality and accuracy and reviews assessing contracts and makes recommendations thereon to municipalities RSA 21-J:11. The division performs reviews of municipalities' assessing practices according to guidelines set by the New Hampshire Assessing Standards Board (ASB) RSA 21-J:11-a. They equalize the local assessed valuation of each municipality to bring such valuations to the full and true market value of the property RSA 21-J:3, XIII. The Municipal and Property Division appraises public utility and railroad property for the statewide public utility tax RSA 83-F as well as the railroad tax RSA 82. Municipalities may also utilize these values for their public utility property. They also administer the Gravel and Timber Taxes.
