NH does not have low property tax rates.

The towns with a lot of high value taxable real estate typically have lower rates. Poorer towns pay much more per $1000 value.

That said, if you have 11 rural acres, you may be able to keep 10 in “current use” and pay lower rates.

Have you ever lived in NH OP? Or are you a “don’t read to me” free stater who’s eager to move to NH?

Factor in property taxes, heating bills (and sure you can cut your own wood but that takes a lot of time and effort), etc. It’s not the shoot-em-up, hate liberals, low taxes paradise that you’ve got in your head.

Sure you can find a few free staters who might invite you to their circle jerk if you move up, but no one pays any attention to those kooks.

AFAIK 10 acres is taxed before you can put the rest in current use, except in some situations like wetlands the minimum is like 2 acres. Or if you can separate into 2 adjacent parcels and own both, one can be entirely in current use, but it's not easy to split a single parcel up.
