Tax rate reduced, tax bills coming

NH Business Review Staff,

GREENVILLE- According to Tax Collector Kathleen Valliere, “People are going to be ecstatic when they open their tax bills.”

That emotion will be caused by a tax rate that has dropped about $39 per $1,000 valuation, a drop caused by revaluation of the town from an equalized ratio of about 50 percent to about 100 percent. While the tax rate is much lower, not everyone will be paying less in taxes.

The new rate of $14.78 breaks down to town, $5.48; local schools, $6.44; state schools, $2.01; and county, $85. Last year the rate was $53.88, breaking down to town, $16.07; local schools, $28.54; state school, $7.40; and county $1.87.

Unbottling the Nongfu Spring deal

New Hampshire’s attorney general says no improprieties by state officials preceded the sale of a large Nashua commercial building to China’s largest water bottler. But Attorney General John Formella’s report to Gov. Kelly Ayotte dated Oct. 3 says the provisions of federal law should have taken place prior to the sale of the 337,391-square-foot building at 80 Northwest Blvd. in Nashua by a subsidiary of Nongfu Spring.
