Simple. The local assessor will give you the guidelines.
A comment on property taxes in NH; having been a resident of MA and NH
for my entire life, the property cost, on a per-square-foot basis, is
about the same in either MA or NH.... The tax rate is higher in NH,
but the houses are cheaper (somewhat), as the land costs can be
lower... (as an aside 'Live Free or Die' is an incredible fallacy)
Generally, square footage is most of the basis of property tax... as
is # bedrooms and baths...

OK, getting ready to build soon in NH. Property taxes can be very high in
that state. As I can build just about anything I want, I'm trying to design
a house to minimize property taxes while maximizing flexibility. So I tried
to find the formula used to compute NH property value. All I found was:

http://gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/V/75/75-1.htm

Which seems to suggest that the tax assessor can just take a wild guess at
the property value. Anyone know if there is a general formula used, such as
(number bedrooms X year built X square footage X number of bathrooms, etc.)

I'll obviously know to the penny how much the property is worth when it's
built, but if the value rises significantly, so could the tax burden. So
I'm trying to find the formula used to determine property value.
Anyone? -Dave
