Where can I look up a Manchester property's assessment or tax card?
- Property assessment data: Vision Government Solutions, Manchester

What is Manchester's tax rate, and what does it add to a payment?
| 2025, per $1,000 | Manchester |
|---|---|
| City | $10.04 |
| County | $1.36 |
| State education | $1.51 |
| Local education | $7.33 |
| Total | $20.24 |
About $2,024 a year, or $169 a month, for each $100,000 of assessed value. On a home assessed at $450,000, that's about $759 a month. Most lenders collect it monthly through escrow.
How close are Manchester's assessments to market value?
Manchester's assessments were about 64.8% of market value in 2025, according to the City Assessors. That's why a $20.24 rate can produce a smaller bill than the rate suggests: the rate is applied to an assessment well below the price.
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 city's tax page: City of Manchester Pay Online.
What if I think my assessment is too high?
You can ask the city for an abatement. In New Hampshire the application is generally due by March 1 after the year's final tax bill. Manchester'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 Manchester's list: exemptions and credits.
Buying or refinancing in Manchester?
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 city's actual assessment and rate. No credit pull to start.
