New Hampshire real estate tax
The property tax paid by a NH home owner is the total tax rate times the assessed value of the property in thousands. A house worth $300,000 in Claremont would be taxed at a yearly $32.59 * 300 = $9,777 while the same property owner in Moultonborough would pay only $7.66 * 300 = $2,298 in yearly NH real estate taxes.
The total tax is the sum of the town tax, the local education tax, the state education tax and county tax.
