New Hampshire has no statewide property tax cap and assesses property at full market value; Strafford County revaluations occur every five years or when ownership changes, so your purchase price becomes the assessed value. New Hampshire offers no homestead exemption, but the Elderly and Disabled Tax Exemption Program may provide relief for seniors (65+), disabled residents, and surviving spouses meeting income thresholds—contact the Strafford County Assessor's office to determine your eligibility. File your exemption application by April 15 and request the Assessor's property record to verify valuation accuracy and ensure all exemptions are properly applied.
