How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Carroll County, NH
At 0.989%, Carroll County's effective property tax rate sits well beneath New Hampshire's statewide median of 1.782%, yet it still edges past the national figure of 0.794%. That gap matters: even the lowest rate among New Hampshire's ten counties remains above what a majority of American homeowners pay. A median home value of $388,900 generates an annual tax bill of roughly $3,848, set against a median household income of $86,463 and per-capita income of $50,677. Communities such as Center Sandwich, North Sandwich, and Bartlett fall within this county, where the tax climate is gentler than the rest of the state but not quite aligned with national norms. Ranking last within New Hampshire signals that buyers here encounter the state's least aggressive property taxation, though the comparison with national figures tempers any impression of an outright bargain.
