Real Estate Tax Appeals

New Hampshire has no broad based taxes. As a result, the State, towns, cities and counties rely heavily upon the real estate tax. The determination of the value of property for real estate tax purposes is made by the local town or city assessor. The assessed value is supposed to be governed by the fair market value of the property. However, assessed property values sometimes increase drastically, without substantial justification. In such a situation, an appeal of the assessment may be appropriate. Attorneys Peter Millham and Paul Fitzgerald are experienced in dealing with these issues, and are available to help.
