Hampton Falls Tax Rate Set for 2022

The Hampton Falls Board of Selectmen has received the official property tax rate for 2022 for the Town of Hampton Falls from the NH Department of Revenue Administration. The new tax rate is $20.99 per $1,000 of assessed valuation and represents a decrease of $0.13 from the 2021 tax rate of $21.12. The tax rate consists of components which are based on budgets that are approved by the voters at the town meeting and school district meeting and by the County Commissioners to fund the county, school, and town operations as well as the assessed valuation of the town.

The Board of Selectmen, understanding the economic inflation residents are facing, decided to use a significant part of the undesignated fund balance to reduce the tax rate. In addition, due to controlled spending and unanticipated revenues, the Lincoln Akerman School District and Winnacunnet High School were able to return funds from 2021-2022 appropriations to reduce their rates.

The Tax Collector is preparing the tax bills for mailing with a due date of December 22^nd. If you do not receive a tax bill or have a question regarding your bill, please contact the Tax Collector, Stephanie Grant at townclerkcollect@hamptonfalls.org. Property taxes can be viewed and paid on-line at www.hamptonfalls.org . The period to request abatements begins with the mailing of the tax bills and will run through March 1, 2023. Abatements are considered for residents who believe there may be an error with the assessment of their property. Forms and information regarding abatements are available in the Town Office and on-line at www.hamptonfalls.org.
