NH has low property tax? That is new news to me. Last I read NH was like top 5 for highest property tax in the country.

My property taxes in NH are one third higher than what they were in MA

I live in Moultonboro on the lake and I can tell you that my property tax is 75%
LESS per thousand of assessed value than our house was when we sold it in 2014 in a suburb of Albany, NY.

Moultonborough is in a class of their own when looking at property taxes because of the huge tax base from lakefront properties. My Moultonborough house is worth roughly twice as much as my house in southern NH but the taxes are slightly less.

The Moultonborough tax rate is the reason the town spends like drunken sailors - they love to quote that tax rate and it provides a great smokescreen to have a bloated infrastructure.
