What is Merrimack's tax rate, and what does it add to a payment?
| 2025, per $1,000 | Merrimack |
|---|---|
| Town | $4.38 |
| County | $1.33 |
| State education | $1.44 |
| Local education | $14.96 |

About $2,211 a year, or $184 a month, for each $100,000 of assessed value. On a home assessed at $450,000, that's about $829 a month. Most lenders collect it monthly through escrow.
How close are Merrimack's assessments to market value?
The town's assessing page lists Merrimack's 2025 equalized ratio as 67.9%, meaning 2025 assessments were, on average, below market value. Merrimack then did a town-wide value update for 2026, with the goal of bringing all assessments to 100% of market value as of April 1, so 2026 assessments will look different from 2025's.
When are tax bills due, and how do I pay?
Merrimack bills twice a year. The first bill is mailed at the end of May, is half of the prior year's total tax, and is due July 1. The final bill is mailed at the end of October at the new rate the state sets in the fall, less the first bill, and is due December 1 (or 30 days after mailing if it goes out after October 31). Details: Town of Merrimack Property Taxes.
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. Merrimack'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 Merrimack's list: exemptions and veterans' tax credits.
Buying or refinancing in Merrimack?
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.
