City Of Concord Changes How The Property Tax Bill Looks

CONCORD, NH — The city of Concord has changed the way the property tax bill looks offering new formatting and even a video to explain to taxpayers what they will be seeing this year. For 2019, the tax bill will be in a legal paper size (8 1/2 by 14-inches) and will featured three years of prior tax information in the center of the page. If you’re delinquent on your property taxes, it will say so in red, in the upper righthand corner of the bill, “for increased visibility,” according to Stefanie Breton, the public information officer for the city of Concord.

The back of the bill has a brief explainer section about each tax rate segment and the information on the back of the bill is now in much larger print than before.

Breton noted that the July and October tax bills, which will be sent out this month, are calculated by taking 50 percent of the prior year’s annual tax amount. That result is divided to create two payments, due in July and October. The January and March tax bills will be sent out in November and be the final bill for the current tax year.
