Property taxes
Bedford property tax rate
Bedford’s 2025 nominal tax rate is $16.49 per $1,000 of assessed value. The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has not published an equalization ratio for Bedford for 2025, so no equalized rate is shown — we do not estimate one.
Municipal
$3.87 per $1,000
County
$1.02 per $1,000
State education
$1.15 per $1,000
Local education
$10.45 per $1,000
The four components add to the $16.49 per $1,000 total rate. Rates set by the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration for 2025; source data.
What that costs depends on the town’s assessed value for the specific property, which is not the purchase price — Bedford assesses at a ratio the DRA has not published for this year. Work the bill out from your assessment with the property tax calculator, or read the New Hampshire property tax guide.

The community
Living in Bedford
Bedford is one of southern New Hampshire's most desirable suburbs — known for top-ranked schools, executive-style neighborhoods, and quick access to both Manchester and the Massachusetts state line. With strong town services, expansive lots, and a long-standing reputation for excellent schools, Bedford has become a default choice for buyers relocating from the Boston suburbs who want more land and the New Hampshire tax advantage.
The Bedford real estate market is dominated by single-family homes — colonial, contemporary, and custom — on lots ranging from a half acre to several acres. Established neighborhoods around Bedford Center, the country club, and the south side of town attract buyers prioritizing schools and walkability to local amenities. Newer subdivisions on the west side offer move-in-ready construction with modern floor plans.
Because Bedford competes directly with affluent Massachusetts towns like Andover, Westford, and Acton, pricing can be sharply driven by school zones, lot size, and the condition and finish level of the home.
