Property taxes
Manchester’s 2025 nominal tax rate is $20.24 per $1,000 of assessed value. The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has not published an equalization ratio for Manchester for 2025, so no equalized rate is shown — we do not estimate one.
Municipal

County
$1.36 per $1,000
State education
$1.51 per $1,000
Local education

The four components add to the $20.24 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 — Manchester 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
Manchester is New Hampshire's largest city — the historic mill capital of the state and the economic engine of the Merrimack Valley. The Amoskeag Millyard, once the largest cotton mill complex in the world, has been transformed into a center for technology, finance, healthcare, and higher education, anchoring a downtown that has steadily reinvented itself over the past two decades.
The Manchester real estate market gives buyers more housing variety and stronger value than the Seacoast or southern-tier suburbs. The North End offers established single-families on tree-lined streets close to downtown. The West Side and Rimmon Heights mix multi-family rentals with affordable single-family homes — popular with first-time buyers and investors. The South End and the area around St. Anselm College draw families looking for larger lots and quick highway access.
Manchester benefits from no state income or sales tax, a small but growing airport, and direct highway connections to Boston, the Lakes Region, and the Seacoast. That combination, plus a price point that meaningfully undercuts Massachusetts suburbs, has fueled steady demand from out-of-state buyers.
