Do Fully Disabled Veterans Receive a Property Tax Credit in NH

[Cody Barna]

Hey BP,

Would a fully disabled veteran be eligible to receive a 100% Property tax credit when purchasing a primary residence in New Hampshire?

I've been trying to find information regarding this topic, if anyone has experience or knows more details please share them below.

Thanks,

Cody

I was a tax collector in NH, but it has been 9 years since I did that so my info may be a tad out of date. 

NH RSAs give communities the option of passing a veteran tax credit. In the towns and cities I served in, it was always 500 dollar credit per bill. So it's not 100%, though it's definitely better than nothing.

Since local communities rely on property tax for over 90% of their revenue, you aren't going to see town's offering up crazy disabled veteran discounts. This may change as the amount of disabled veterans continue to drop (amen for less war), but it's never a guarantee.

A senior living in a 55+ mobile community can expect a pretty large discount off their tax bill, but someone in their family home not so much.

hope that helps
