How They Can Help

Our property tax services include comprehensive assessment reviews, formal appeal preparation, and representation before local boards of selectmen and tax assessors. We analyze your current assessment against market data, comparable properties, and legal standards to identify potential overvaluations. For commercial clients, we provide detailed income and expense analysis, depreciation studies, and market comparisons tailored to New Hampshire's business property assessment methods. Our residential services include property inspections, neighborhood analysis, and documentation of factors that might reduce assessed value. We also offer assessment monitoring services, helping clients track changes in their property valuations over time and identify optimal timing for appeals. Our abatement application process ensures all paperwork meets legal requirements and deadlines.

What to Expect

Our process starts with a free assessment review where we examine your property tax bill, recent comparable sales, and current market conditions. We'll identify potential grounds for abatement and explain New Hampshire's specific requirements. If we proceed, we conduct thorough property research, including site inspections and market analysis. We prepare and file abatement applications within statutory deadlines, typically by March 1st for the current tax year. We handle all communication with local assessors and represent you during informal negotiations. If necessary, we'll present your case at formal hearings before boards of selectmen or pursue further appeals to the Board of Tax and Land Appeals.

Service Area

We serve Manchester and surrounding communities including Bedford, Derry, Londonderry, and other southern New Hampshire towns. Our team understands the assessment practices and market conditions across Hillsborough and Rockingham counties. We're familiar with the varying approaches used by different New Hampshire communities, from full-value assessments to fractional assessment systems, and adjust our strategies accordingly for each municipality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deadline for filing property tax abatements in New Hampshire?
The standard deadline is March 1st of the tax year for current-year abatements. However, certain circumstances allow later filings, such as when property conditions change after March 1st or when assessment errors are discovered.
How does New Hampshire's abatement process differ from other states?
New Hampshire uses an abatement system where you apply to the local assessor first, then appeal to the board of selectmen if unsatisfied. The process emphasizes written applications with supporting evidence rather than informal negotiations common in other states.
Can I appeal my property taxes if I just bought my home?
Yes, recent purchases can actually strengthen abatement applications since the sale price provides strong evidence of market value. If your assessment exceeds your purchase price (adjusted for market conditions), you may have grounds for abatement.
What evidence do you need to support my abatement application?
We gather comparable sales data, property condition information, income and expense data for commercial properties, and documentation of any factors affecting value. Professional appraisals, if available, also strengthen applications.
How long does the abatement process take in New Hampshire?
The process typically takes 2-6 months from application filing to resolution. Local assessors have specific timeframes to respond, and board hearings are usually scheduled within 30-60 days of appeals.
What happens if my abatement application is denied?
You can appeal to the board of selectmen within 30 days of denial. If that's unsuccessful, further appeals are possible to the Board of Tax and Land Appeals or superior court, depending on the amount involved.
Are there minimum amounts required for property tax appeals?
New Hampshire doesn't set minimum thresholds for abatement applications, but practical considerations like legal costs and time investment mean appeals for very small amounts may not be cost-effective. We'll help evaluate whether your potential savings justify the effort.
Can I get abatements for previous years if I discover assessment errors?
Yes, New Hampshire allows abatement applications for prior years under certain circumstances, such as clerical errors, illegally assessed property, or property destroyed by disaster. However, strict time limits and specific requirements apply to these situations.
