THE TOWN OF NEWMARKET AND MUNICIPAL
RESOURCES INC. TO CONDUCT 2024 PROPERTY REVALUATION
The Town of Newmarket along with
its contracted assessing firm Municipal Resources, Inc. (MRI) will begin a town
wide revaluation, in accordance with the NH Constitution Part II, Article 6 and
RSA 75:8a, for the 2024 tax year. The purpose of the project is to bring
property assessments uniformly in line with market conditions as of April 1,
2024.
Here is a general outline of each
phase of the project.
Phase
One, Market Analysis and Valuation: A variety of resources will be used to analyze
the real estate market. MRI will analyze recent sales to determine what market
factors influence property values. The current market rates for land and
building values, demonstrated by property sales, will be used to establish new
land and building values for all properties in the Town.
As part of this process MRI will visit all
properties that have sold between April 1, 2022, and March 31, 2024. MRI will measure the exterior of those buildings and
attempt to verify interior property details verbally or with an interior
inspection. Owners of property sold between April 1, 2022, and March 31,
2024, will be sent letters requesting information about the sale and the
condition of their property at the time of sale. MRI will also use information
from the Rockingham County Registry of Deeds and local real estate
professionals. MRI personnel working in the Town will have picture IDs and
letters from the Town identifying them. Personnel information will also be
registered with the Newmarket Police Department.
During the market analysis and valuation,
building values will be determined by comparing each property to others with
similar characteristics. Land values will be determined based on the
desirability of locations throughout the Town as demonstrated by the real
estate market.
Phase
Two, Field Review:
During this review, properties are viewed in the field by assessors who
double-check data for uniformity and accuracy. As previously mentioned, all
personnel will have picture identification and official letters from the Town.
Phase Three, Informal Hearings: Once Field Review is
complete, a notice of preliminary assessed values will be mailed to each
property owner. At this time, property owners will have an opportunity to
discuss questions concerning the revaluation process, assessed values, or their
property data with MRI personnel. After the informal
hearings, adjustments to values will be made if needed, and assessments will be
finalized and accepted by the Town.
Phases One and Two are expected to
take place during the spring and early summer of 2024. Phase Three hearings are
expected by mid-summer. New values will be reflected in the November 2024 tax
bills. The NH Department of Revenue will follow the revaluation making their
own follow up visits to a percentage of viewed properties and checking the
data.
