REVALUATION / RECERTIFICATION
The State-mandated recertification process must take place every five years, and the NH DRA representative covering Fremont recently visited the Selectmen’s Office to see what provisions were being made for Fremont’s mandated recertification date of 2010.
Voters turned down the proposal on the 2009 Town Meeting Warrant, and we are now faced with the prospect of potentially being ordered by the NH Board of Tax and Land Appeals to undertake this process in accordance with the State Statute. Please watch for more information in this regard as the potential exists that we will have to have a special Town Meeting to address this mandate. In any event there will be more to come on this topic. We want to have the voters understand the process and would prefer to bring it to the March 2010 meeting than incur the cost of a special town meeting.
Part of the recertification process includes the verification of all credits and exemptions, so if you currently receive any credit or exemption, you will shortly be receiving a letter to verify all information and your eligibility. Please review this information carefully and submit it to the Selectmen’s Office as soon as possible.
If you have questions about the credit and exemption process, please call Jeanne Nygren at 895 2226 x 11 or drop by the Selectmen’s Office Monday/Friday 8:30 am to 12 noon; Tuesday/Wednesday 8:30 to 4:00 pm; or Friday 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
CREDIT & EXEMPTION APPLICATION DEADLINES
New veteran credit, disabled exemption, and elderly exemption applications are due in the Selectmen’s Office NO LATER than April 15 annually.
If you have already been approved for a credit or exemption,
you do not need to reapply.
The law does require that we verify information every five years to comply with the NH certification process. The veteran credit verification was done in 2004, and the elderly exemption verification process was done in 2005. Both were redone in the summer of 2009 to comply with the 2010 recertification process.
Please call the Selectmen’s Office at 895-2226 x 11
if you have any questions.

Every state assesses differently and this may avoid surprises after you move in. The tax year in the State of NH runs from April 1 to March 31. Fremont bills only once per year, with taxes due annually on December 1.
For any questions on how your tax assessment was derived or copies of your tax card, call the Selectmen's Office at 603 895 2226 x 11 or send an email to: FremontTownHall@comcast.net
