ASSESSING DATABASE INFORMATION

The Town of Fremont's assessing records are
on line at: 
http://www.visionappraisal.com/databases/nh/index.htm

We do a data upload several times a year, and you can see the date of the most recent update on the page, so you know how current the information is.  The MOST-CURRENT data is always available at the taxpayer terminal in the Selectmen's Office at the Town Hall.

If you would like us to mail you a copy of your assessing card,
call or email the Selectmen's Office.


Click the link below to access the NH BTLA website and download the local MUNICIPAL ABATEMENT form.  This has been REVISED for the 2009 tax year, so if you have previously picked up a form, please replace it with the following updated form:
http://www.nh.gov/btla/forms/documents/2009AbatementForWeb.pdf

 You can use the link shown above, or go directly to the state website at www.nh.gov/btla and access any other BTLA forms.

REVALUATION / RECERTIFICATION

      The State-mandated recertification process must take place every five years, and the NH DRA representative covering Fremont recently visited the Selectmen’s Office to see what provisions were being made for Fremont’s mandated recertification date of 2010.

     Voters turned down the proposal on the 2009 Town Meeting Warrant, and we are now faced with the prospect of potentially being ordered by the NH Board of Tax and Land Appeals to undertake this process in accordance with the State Statute.  Please watch for more information in this regard as the potential exists that we will have to have a special Town Meeting to address this mandate.  In any event there will be more to come on this topic.  We want to have the voters understand the process and would prefer to bring it to the March 2010 meeting than incur the cost of a special town meeting. 

     Part of the recertification process includes the verification of all credits and exemptions, so if you currently receive any credit or exemption, you will shortly be receiving a letter to verify all information and your eligibility.  Please review this information carefully and submit it to the Selectmen’s Office as soon as possible.  
     
If you have questions about the credit and exemption process, please call Jeanne Nygren at 895 2226 x 11 or drop by the Selectmen’s Office Monday/Friday 8:30 am to 12 noon; Tuesday/Wednesday 8:30 to 4:00 pm; or Friday 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.


   CREDIT &  EXEMPTION APPLICATION DEADLINES

      New veteran credit, disabled exemption, and elderly exemption applications are due in the Selectmen’s Office NO LATER than April 15 annually.  

If you have already been approved for a credit or exemption,
you do not need to reapply. 


    
The law does require that we verify information every five years to comply with the NH certification process.  The veteran credit verification was done in 2004, and the elderly exemption verification process was done in 2005.  Both were redone in the summer of 2009 to comply with the 2010 recertification process.


 
Please call the Selectmen’s Office at 895-2226 x 11
if you have any questions.

 Property Taxes and Assessing Information:

2009 Tax Rate $23.12

2008 Equalization Ratio 104.6%

If you are buying a specific property, find out what the actual taxes are for a full year and ask questions about the assessment.  Every state assesses differently and this may avoid surprises after you move in.  The tax year in the State of NH runs from April 1 to March 31.  Fremont bills only once per year, with taxes due annually on December 1.

For any questions on how your tax assessment was derived or copies of your tax card, call the Selectmen's Office at 603 895 2226 x 11 or send an email to:  FremontTownHall@comcast.net

For any questions on tax payments or interest calculations, contact the Tax Collector at 603 895 3200 x 14 or send an email to: 
FremontTax@comcast.net
