Assessors' Data can be found by clicking on property record card link.

The Assessor's primary responsibility is to find the fair market value of property, so that owners pay only their fair share of taxes.  The Assessing Department also keeps track of ownership changes, maintains maps of parcel boundaries, keeps building and property characteristics up to date, tracks properties eligible for exemptions, credits and other forms of property tax relief, and, most importantly, analyzes trends in sales prices, construction costs, and rents to estimate the value of all assessable property. The Board of Selectmen retains Corcoran Consulting Associates, Inc. of Wolfeboro, NH to perform the duties and functions of Assessor's Agent and Town Appraiser.

The tax rate is determined annually by the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, typically in October/November. The fall tax bill is calculated using the new established rate. The spring tax bill uses the tax rate from the previous year. For more information on how tax bills are calculated, please visit the Tax Billing & Collection page.
