How Tax Sales Work at the County Level in New Hampshire
In New Hampshire, property tax collection and tax foreclosure sales are administered at the county level. Each county's tax office is responsible for collecting delinquent property taxes and, when necessary, initiating tax sale proceedings. The sale type statewide is Tax Deed, though specific procedures and timelines may vary by county.
Municipality places tax lien; takes full ownership via tax deed after 2 years if not redeemed
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Tyler v. Hennepin County (2023), governments cannot retain surplus proceeds from tax foreclosure sales beyond what is owed in taxes, penalties, and fees. If your former property sold for more than the tax debt, you may have a constitutional right to the excess funds. The redemption period in New Hampshire is 2 years (no post-deed redemption).
