Property Owner Tax Exemptions and Credits

Property Tax Exemptions and Credits to Qualifying Property Owners


A Solar Exemption per RSA 72:62. This exemption passed as follows at the Annual Town Meeting Business Meeting on March 17, 2012. Such exemption shall be for 100% of the amount, if any, by which installation of solar energy systems on the property increases the total assessed value of the property.

A Blind Exemption per RSA 72:37 in the amount of $15,000 (taken off the residential real estate value).

In 2004 the Town adopted the provisions for the optional Veterans' Credit.  The Town increased the current credit from $100 to $500, pursuant to RSA 72:28, II.  For a service connected total disability, the Town increased the current credit from $1,400.00 to $2,000.00, pursuant to RSA 72:35, I-a.

In 2019 the Town adopted the provisons for the All Veterans' Tax Credit which is $500 pursuant to RSA 72:28-b.  Be advised that one shall not receive the All Veteran's Credit and the Service Connected Total Disability; per the RSA you are allowed one or the other, not both.  However, if you qualify for the War Veteran's Credit and the total disability, you may receive both credits for a total of $2,500 per year.

NOTE:  Per RSA 72:28 and RSA 72:28-b, VETERANS' DISCHARGE DOCUMENTS MUST STATE "HONORABLY DISCHARGED OR HONORABLY SEPARATED". 

In 2007 the Town voted to modify the Elderly Exemptions from property tax in the Town of Webster, based on assessed value, for qualified taxpayers, to be as follows: for a person 65 years of age up to 75 years, $63,750; for a person 75 years of age up to 80 years, $76,500; for a person 80 years of age or older $89,250. To qualify the person must have been a New Hampshire resident for at least 3 years, own the real estate individually or jointly, or if the real estate is owned by such person's spouse, they must have been married for at least 5 years. In addition, the taxpayer must have a net income of not more than $25,000 or, if married, a combined net income of not more than $34,000; and own net assets not in excess of $75,000 excluding the value of the person's residence." The combined net asset amount for married persons shall apply to a surviving spouse until the sale or transfer of the property by the surviving spouse or until the remarriage of the surviving spouse.

*Please Note: None of the above exemptions are granted without first  filing a PA-29 application with the Board of Selectmen not later than April 15th preceding the setting of the tax rate.
