NH ranks 46th in the US for total tax burden which is very good but the property tax rate is the 3rd highest in the nation. If you are a resident of New Hampshire you have it pretty good but if you are a resident of another state and own property in NH be prepared to pay very high property taxes.

Property taxes in Ma are no bargain either. The only difference is the services you get, but those are slowly eroding away also. Things like trash pick up and school bus service that use to be free are now being charged a fee, in some towns.
As far as waterfront property taxes go, if you have waterfront in the state of Ma you are paying a high property tax also.
