The highest property tax rate of any NH town
Ownwell's cited 2.95% effective property tax rate is the highest of any town in New Hampshire per that source, above both Rockingham County's own 1.90% median and this project's own NH statewide anchor (1.93%) (base record).
New Hampshire's real tax structure still applies
No broad-based wage-income tax, no sales tax, and (per a real 2025 repeal) no tax on interest or dividends either -- though New Hampshire's real 8.5% Meals & Rooms Tax and business-level taxes still apply (base record).
