VETERAN CREDIT & ELDERLY EXEMPTION APPLICATION DEADLINE
New veteran credit or 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. Please call the Selectmen’s Office at 895-2226 x 11 if you have any questions.

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:
