HB 1800 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to statewide education property taxes.

HB 1800 increases the statewide education property tax rate to $5 per $1,000 of property valuation starting in 2027, affecting all property taxpayers. It creates tax credits for primary homeowners (20%), residents without school-age children (10%), and seniors over 65 (10%), while revising how school funding is calculated to require $10,000 per student and $4,000 per qualifying student annually (with 2% yearly increases). The bill also changes how education tax revenue is distributed to municipalities and repeals statutes related to "extraordinary need grants." These changes aim to fund school districts through revised tax collection and distribution mechanisms, effective July 1, 2027.
