Exemption for Improvements to Assist People with Disabilities

Every owner of residential real estate upon which he resides, and to which he has made improvements for the purpose of assisting a person with a disability who also resides on such real estate, is each year entitled to an exemption from the assessed value, for property tax purposes, upon such residential real estate determined by deducting the value of such improvements from the assessed value of the residential real estate before determining the taxes upon such real estate.

If there are any improvements that you feel qualify for this exemption, please submit the Application below as well as any supporting documentation on the improvements completed to the Assessor's Office by April 15.

If there are any changes to the status of residency for the person with the disability, please contact the Assessor's Office at anovotney@ci.durham.nh.us or (603) 868-8064.
