Conventional wisdom says that New Hampshire has some of the highest property taxes in the country. But that’s not necessarily true, according to the new study “Not as High as You Think” released March 5, 2008 by Daphne Kenyon, PhD of D. A. Kenyon & Associates.
This paper takes a new look at property tax burdens in New Hampshire. It argues that conventional measures of New Hampshire’s property tax burden overstate its magnitude. When property taxes are compared to property values, at least a dozen states have property tax burdens higher than New Hampshire. Although New Hampshire’s property tax burden is above average compared to the rest of the U.S. by some measures, the quality of the educational system funded by these taxes is well above average.
