For most people who own a home, their real estate is their largest asset, and their real estate taxes are their largest annual expense. This course is designed to help you understand more about the value of your largest asset, and the basis for the calculation of your largest annual bill. Although much of this information is publicly available, it is not easily obtained. How does the town value individual properties, and, in turn, calculate the individual property taxes? What does one do when they feel they are paying higher property taxes than their neighbors? Is there any way to get property tax relief in NH? Why isn’t the assessed value the same as what the property could sell for? What records does the town have on my property, and where did they get the information? What if the information on the tax card is incorrect? What’s “Current Use” all about? What does an appraiser do differently than the town assessor, and what is included in an appraisal report? As a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser for over 20 years, I will provide answers to these questions and more. Q and A is strongly encouraged! While focused on NH, 75% of what’s covered is relevant elsewhere.
