You need both numbers to see if your taxes are going up.

Correct!
Tax bill = (Muni rate + County rate +State Ed. rate +Local Ed.rate) X Assesment
The towns control the municipal rate.
The county controls the county rate.
The school district controls the Local education rate
The state controls the State Education rate.
NH DRA
Equalization
Equalization is a process carried out annually by municipalities and the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) to ensure common property tax burdens are apportioned fairly and equitably among taxpayers. Through the equalization and ratio study processes, the total equalized valuation of each municipality is determined and used to apportion county taxes, cooperative school taxes, if applicable, and the state education property tax.
