NH Taxes

And, there's no money going from the state back to the towns. So, what happens in this here town is totally paid by this here town .... so it is not so much a state as a collection of individual towns.

Most likely, it will always be this way. If it was going to change, it would have already happened.

It would be WAY worse if we had an income tax and/or a sales tax. If you live off the water, the tax rate is not horrible. On the water is a different story. Also, as has been well documented in this Forum, cities and towns vary. Regarding the property tax, at least you have a choice on where you live. If instituted, we wouldn't have a choice to avoid the income or sales tax if we wanted to live in NH.
