NHDRA Annual Low & Moderate Homeowners Property Tax Relief Program

NHDRA's Annual Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief Program

The Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief provision is designed to lessen the economic burden of the State Education Property Tax on certain taxpayers. New Hampshire residents who own a homestead subject to the State Education Property Tax, resided in the homestead as of April 1, 2016, and have a total household income of $20,000 or less if a single person (or $40,000 or less if married or head of household) may apply for property tax relief during the filing period - after May 1, 2017, but no later than June 30, 2017.

In 2016, over 8,540 claims were submitted and over $1.6 million of property tax relief was distributed to valid claim applicants resulting in an average of approximately $190 of State Education Property Tax Relief per household.
