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. I’m over 65. What type of tax relief is available to senior citizens?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. Please see the section on Timber & Gravel for the rules and regulations regarding cutting of timber. 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 section on Current Use for more details on removing property from Current Use. 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 at assessing@hollis.nh.us Last
