If you have any questions, concerns and/or feel an error exists with your newly assessed value you must contact Avitar and schedule a PHONE APPOINTMENT. Please note that staff at Town Hall cannot schedule these appointments. Unlike in previous years, Avitar will not be holding face to face meetings, but rather will contact you at the phone number you provide for your scheduled appointment. To schedule an appointment, please go to www.avitarassociates.com/appointments or if you do not have access to the internet, please call Avitar at 603-798-4419. Please logon and schedule an appointment to ensure you are afforded the opportunity for review by 6:00 PM on SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 2022, as you will not be able to make an appointment after that date.
Please note that you should not try to estimate your next tax bill by multiplying your new assessment and the old tax rate as it will produce an erroneous tax amount. As the total value of the Town has increased, the tax rate will drop proportionally, barring any significant changes in spending voted on at Town & School district meetings. The newly established values will be implemented on the December bill.
For general questions regarding Assessing, please email [email protected] or call 603-742-2510 x320.
