New Hampshire Property Tax Relief and Local Exemptions¶
New Hampshire tax relief pathways that may apply to caregiver households, including the Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief program and locally adopted property tax exemptions or credits for older adults, people with disabilities, people who are blind or deaf, and veterans.
New Hampshire does not have a broad wage income tax, so caregiver-relevant tax relief is mainly property-tax based. The Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Property Tax Relief program provides a rebate of all or part of the State Education Property Tax for eligible homeowners who own a qualifying homestead, lived there on April 1 of the claim year, and meet household income limits. Current statutory income limits are $37,000 or less for a single person and $47,000 or less for a married person or head of a New Hampshire household. Claims are filed with the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, generally during the May 1 through June 30 filing window. New Hampshire law also permits local property tax exemptions or credits for older adults, people with disabilities, people who are blind or deaf, and veterans; amounts and adoption details vary by municipality.
