Property Tax Bills

The property tax year in New Hampshire runs from April 1st thru March 31st. Assessment of your property is made according to the value on April 1st of each year and appears on your tax bill.

The Town of Francestown sends out property tax bills twice a year. This first bill is calculated at half of the previous years’ total tax rate and is due around the first of July. The second billing is figured at the current year’s tax rate minus the July payment. The tax rate is set sometime in early fall, and the final bill is due around the first of December.

Bills are sent to the address of the last known owner by State law. If you change your mailing address, it is your responsibility to notify us in writing of the change. Interest at 8% per annum is charged on tax bills NOT PAID by the due date. Taxes that have gone to lien are charged 12% per annum.
