See the numbers: Property reevaluations do not directly correlate to property tax increases

Many people across New Hampshire are receiving their property revaluations from the city or town they live in, which is required by state law to occur every five years. Residents who receive those revaluations may be concerned by the potential of a big property tax increase. Katherine Joseph, a Merrimack resident, received a property revaluation that was much higher than she expected. "I was upset, shocked and stunned. I thought the value was way too high. And of course, the question is, you know, what's it going to do to my taxes?" she said. The Town of Merrimack, where Joseph lives, released its tax rates. Other cities and towns will follow, but News 9 used Merrimack as an example to break down the numbers. In 2025, the average home in Merrimack was assessed at $371,400. This year, that number jumped to $558,000, creating a 50% increase. But that doesn't mean property taxes will increase accordingly.
