Property Tax

Real estate tax bills are sent to property owners twice a year; in June and November. The first billing is based on the prior year’s rate. The second billing reflects any increases/decreases as the State sets the tax rate in November.

Vehicle Registration

New residents have 60 days to register their vehicles in New Hampshire. Residents who move have 10 days to inform the NH Division of Motor Vehicles of their new address. Registration renewals are due during the month of your birth if you own your vehicle. The date of registration renewal for leased vehicles is based on the first letter of the company that owns the vehicle; check your registration or inspection sticker for the month you must do the renewal.

Dog Tags

All dogs aged three months or older must have a license, which is renewed annually before April 30th. Owners must present a valid, current rabies certificate and spaying or neutering certificate, if applicable, at the time of licensing.

Voter Registration

You can register to vote with the Town Clerk during regular office hours. A picture ID, such as a driver’s license, is required.

Marriage Licenses

New Hampshire residents must file an Intention of Marriage with a Town Clerk located in the state in which the marriage is going to take place. The fee is a $57.00 ($45.00 for the license and $12 for the couple’s certified copy). A three-day waiting period applies from the date of issue. The license is valid for 90 days from the date of the filing. Driver’s licenses or birth certificates and final divorce or death certificates must be presented at the time of filing.
