What is Amherst's tax rate, and what does it add to a payment?
| 2025, per $1,000 | Amherst |
|---|---|
| Town | $4.92 |
| County | $1.33 |
| State education | $1.49 |
| Local education | $16.24 |

About $2,398 a year, or $200 a month, for each $100,000 of assessed value. On a home assessed at $450,000, that's about $899 a month. Most lenders collect it monthly through escrow.
How close are Amherst's assessments to market value?
Amherst did a full statistical revaluation for 2026, with Vision Government Solutions, to bring all assessments to fair market value as of April 1, 2026. The town says the new assessments are finalized and posted in the online assessing database, so 2026 values will look different from 2025's.
When are tax bills due, and how do I pay?
Most New Hampshire towns bill twice a year: the first bill is an estimate based on the prior year, and the final bill uses the new rate the state sets in the fall. Due dates vary, so check the town's tax page: Town of Amherst Tax Collector.
What if I think my assessment is too high?
You can ask the town for an abatement. In New Hampshire the application is generally due by March 1 after the year's final tax bill. Amherst's page: abatements.
Are there exemptions or tax credits?
Yes. New Hampshire towns offer credits and exemptions such as the veterans' tax credit, set and administered locally. See Amherst's list: exemptions and tax credits.
Buying or refinancing in Amherst?
Your lender counts property tax in the monthly payment it uses to qualify you, so the home's real assessment matters. Send Tom the address and he'll run the payment with the town's actual assessment and rate. No credit pull to start.
