NH is the 5th LOWEST total state tax burden out of 50. Do I care if the property taxes are 3rd highest? Nope!
If you want to pay more but in smaller increments, feel free to move into one of these "low property tax rate" states and enjoy paying all the other taxes that you don't in NH.

I agree that it's important to look at overall tax rate—I've a friend who keeps saying her move to Virginia brought lower taxes but doesn't understand that the income tax added more overall costs—BUT there's a major issue with NH basing the tax system on land because many families who have owned property for years are now getting priced out. Nobody should lose the family homestead because they can no longer afford the taxes.
