Where the records are

The county offices an investor deals with in Hillsborough County, and what each one puts online.

Deeds and mortgages

Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds. All online records can be viewed free; printing costs $2.05 per page on the Ava public search, or $2 per page with a Laredo account that has a $100 start-up fee.

Owners and values

City and town assessors (for example, Nashua Assessing Department). Each city or town keeps its own assessment records, and Nashua and Manchester both offer free online property record cards.

Tax sales

City and town tax collectors. Tax liens and tax deeds are handled by each town's tax collector, and towns that sell tax-deeded property post their own sealed-bid or auction notices.

Foreclosure sales

Mortgage holder (power of sale under RSA 479:25). Foreclosure sales are run by the lender, not a county office, and notices are published in a local newspaper rather than on a county website.

Parcel maps

City and town GIS (for example, Manchester MapGeo). There is no countywide parcel map; Manchester's free MapGeo viewer and Nashua's GIS maps cover the two big cities, and other towns post their own tax maps.

How property is sold here

Hillsborough County follows New Hampshire's rules, with its own calendar and offices. Read the New Hampshire guide for how the state works.

Tax sales

New Hampshire does not hold county tax sales. Assessing and tax collection are done by each city or town (such as Manchester and Nashua), and when taxes go unpaid the town's tax collector places a tax lien, then takes the property by tax deed if it is not paid off within two years. Towns that later sell tax-deeded property use sealed bids or a public auction, announced locally, and must try to pay any money above what was owed to the former owner.

Foreclosure sales

New Hampshire foreclosures are usually out of court under the mortgage's power of sale, and the lender holds the auction, normally on the property itself. Notice must run once a week for 3 weeks in a newspaper that circulates in the town or county, with the first notice at least 20 days before the sale.

Assessed values

Each city or town sets values as of April 1 each year, and New Hampshire towns must revalue all property at least once every five years.

Transfer tax

New Hampshire's real estate transfer tax is $0.75 per $100 of the price charged to the buyer and $0.75 per $100 to the seller, 1.5% in total, with no added county or city transfer tax.
