Property taxes
Durham property tax rate
Durham’s 2025 nominal tax rate is $18.87 per $1,000 of assessed value. The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has not published an equalization ratio for Durham for 2025, so no equalized rate is shown — we do not estimate one.
Municipal
$5.12 per $1,000
County
$1.90 per $1,000
State education
$1.06 per $1,000
Local education
$10.79 per $1,000
The four components add to the $18.87 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 — Durham 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.
