Asked Questions
I want to make changes to my property,
such as put on an addition or a garage. Can you tell me how much my taxes will go up if I do this?
Although, we try to
accommodate all inquiries to this office, it is near impossible to forecast
with any degree of accuracy these types of “what-if” scenarios. As such, we
do not calculate hypothetical assessments. I’ve
pulled a building permit to make changes to my property. When will I be
assessed for the changes to my property?
All physical changes to
properties must be assessed of as April 1st of any given year.
Under State Law, we are required to make a physical inspection to your
property when we are notified of any change to your property that could
affect its value. I’ve just received my tax bill and I think
I’ve been over-assessed. What can I do to change the assessment?
Under State Law, you may
file for abatement once you have received the second-issue bill. The
second-issue bill sets the final liability for the year. Please see the
section on Appealing your Assessment for more information. Is there any property tax relief available
to property owners in Hollis?
Please see the section on
Credits and Exemptions for a full listing of all credits and exemptions
available to property owners in Hollis. My neighbor is cutting some trees on
his/her property. How can I find out if s/he filed the necessary permits to
do this?
You may call the Assessing
Office to find out if they have filed a “Notice of Intent to Cut”. However,
if the property owner is cutting under the allowed amount or under other
circumstances, a Notice of Intent to Cut may not be necessary. I have land currently held in a Current
Use category. If I make changes or sell the land, what will the penalty be?
The penalty for removing
land held in Current Use is 10% of Fair Market Value at the time of change. Please
see the Current Use Information Handout on the Assessing Home page for more
details. According to my deed, I have more/less
acreage than the Town has me listed for. How can I correct this?
If you feel the Town is not
listing your acreage correctly on your assessment card, you must file a
recorded copy of a property survey with the Assessing Office. We will then
correct our records to reflect the result of the survey. While we cannot
recommend a surveyor, you may look in the Yellow Pages for a listing of
surveyors in the area. If you have a question that
was not answered by the above, or any section of this website, please contact
the Assessing Office at (603) 465-9860 or via email Last updated September 30,
