Learn moreA genuinely high property tax rate
Lebanon's effective property tax rate ran approximately 2.63% per Ownwell, well above both the 1.02% national median and NH's own approximately 1.82% statewide median cited by the same source.
A consistent nominal-rate citation
A separate source cited a nominal rate near $25 per $1,000 of assessed value (~2.5%), broadly consistent with Ownwell's effective-rate figure.
New Hampshire's real no-income-tax, no-sales-tax structure
New Hampshire levies no broad-based tax on wages or salaries and no general sales tax -- the I&D Tax on unearned investment income was fully repealed for tax years beginning on/after January 1, 2025.
