Living in New Hampshire: no income tax, no sales tax, high property tax
New Hampshire famously levies neither income nor sales tax, funding lean government largely through property taxes. Boston spillover feeds southern towns with commuters, while tourism and small manufacturing fill out the rest.
Home prices near the Massachusetts border have surged, and property tax bills shock newcomers who came for the low-tax branding. Overall burdens stay competitive for high earners. It is ideal for Boston-area workers who want space and a different tax mix — if they buy with eyes open.
