Where Windsor's $10.54 goes
The rate is four rates added together. The local school rate is the biggest piece at $4.08, 39% of the total. Together the two school rates (local $4.08 and state education $1.39) come to $5.47, or 52% of every tax dollar. The municipal rate of $3.67 funds Windsor's own town budget, and the county rate of $1.40 is Windsor's share of the Hillsborough County budget.
| Part of the rate | Windsor | Share | NH median | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Municipal | $3.67 | 35% | $4.59 | −$0.92 |
| County | $1.40 | 13% | $1.34 | +$0.06 |
| Local school | $4.08 | 39% | $9.75 | −$5.67 |
| State education | $1.39 | 13% | $1.13 | +$0.26 |
| Total | $10.54 | 100% | $16.90 | −$6.36 |
Medians are taken part by part across all 234 municipalities, so the four part medians do not add up to the median total.
Windsor's rate in 2024 and 2025
The total rate fell $3.02 (22.27%) from $13.56 in 2024, and the part that moved most was the local school rate, down $4.33. Over the same year Windsor's assessed valuation (without utilities) went from $37,117,589 to $38,198,186, up 2.91%. With the tax base nearly flat, the lower rate passes through to bills: the same $300,000 assessment owes $906.00 less than in 2024.
Tax on common assessed values in Windsor
| Assessed value | 2025 bill | At the 2024 rate | Versus NH median rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $200,000 | $2,108.00 | $2,712.00 | −$1,272.00 |
| $300,000 | $3,162.00 | $4,068.00 | −$1,908.00 |
| $400,000 | $4,216.00 | $5,424.00 | −$2,544.00 |
| $500,000 | $5,270.00 | $6,780.00 | −$3,180.00 |
| $750,000 | $7,905.00 | $10,170.00 | −$4,770.00 |
Each figure is the assessed value divided by 1,000 and multiplied by the rate, before exemptions and credits. These are assessed values, the number printed on a Windsor bill, not sale prices: New Hampshire towns assess as of April 1 and many sit above or below market value between revaluations, so a $300,000 assessment can belong to a house that would sell for more or less. The "2024 rate" column applies last year's $13.56 to the same assessment.
How Windsor compares in Hillsborough County and the state
Among the 31 municipalities in Hillsborough County, Windsor ranks 31st highest; the county median is $20.67, so Windsor sits $10.13 below it. The next higher rate in the county is Litchfield at $14.20, and none has a lower one. Statewide, 11% of municipalities have a lower total rate than Windsor; in 2024 it ranked 178th.
Municipalities with the closest rates anywhere in the state: Sunapee ($10.55, Sullivan), Newbury ($10.48, Merrimack), Meredith ($10.62, Belknap), Randolph ($10.98, Coös). A rate only compares bills fairly between towns that assess at a similar share of market value; the DRA's equalization ratio for each town measures that share, and the guide to assessed and market value explains how to use it.
What Windsor raises and from what base
The DRA set Windsor's 2025 rate on October 30, 2025 against a total assessed valuation of $38,713,486 including utilities, of which $515,300 (1.33%) is utility property. The state education rate applies only to the $38,198,186 without utilities (RSA 76:3). The total commitment, the property tax Windsor bills for the year, is $396,173, about $1,512 for each of the 262 residents counted in the 2020 census. The four rates applied to the two valuations raise $407,324; the commitment is $11,151 lower because the DRA's rate calculation subtracts the veterans' (war service) tax credits the town grants.
Appealing a Windsor assessment
Abatement starts with Windsor, not the state. When the final 2025 bill is mailed by December 31, 2025, the written application goes to the selectmen or assessors by March 1, 2026 (RSA 76:16, I(b)), the town decides by July 1, and an appeal to the Board of Tax and Land Appeals ($65 fee) or superior court is due by September 1, 2026. A bill mailed after December 31 moves each date to two, six and eight months after the mailing. The Board compares the assessment divided by the town's equalization ratio with the property's market value on April 1; the New Hampshire appeal page sets out the full procedure and the appeal check does that division.
