New Hampshire

Note: New Hampshire does not have county-level government. All public records are maintained at the town or city level. Use the links below to locate the appropriate office for your municipality.

Birth/Marriage Certificates & Other Vital Docs

Vital records in New Hampshire are maintained by the Division of Vital Records Administration (DVRA), a division of the Secretary of State's office. DVRA issues certified copies of birth, death, marriage, divorce, and civil union certificates and maintains a genealogical research vault with records dating to 1640. Certified copies may also be obtained from the town or city clerk where the event occurred.

ⓘ Fee required for certified copies. Town and city clerks can issue certified copies of records on file in their office — often faster and less expensive than ordering from the state. Contact the clerk in the municipality where the event occurred for availability and fees.

Deeds & Land Records

Land records in New Hampshire are recorded and maintained by the Register of Deeds in each of the state's 10 counties. NHDeeds.org is the official hub for all 10 county registries, providing links to each county's online search portal for deeds, mortgages, liens, plans, and other recorded instruments.

ⓘ Select your county from the NHDeeds.org home page to reach its registry portal. Most county registries provide free index searching online; document image access may require a subscription or in-person visit depending on the county. Records are indexed by grantor/grantee name and assigned a book and page number.

Property Assessments

Property assessment in New Hampshire is administered at the city or town level by a municipal assessor or Board of Assessors. There is no single statewide public assessment database. Use the NH.gov Cities & Towns directory to locate your municipality, then navigate to its Assessing Department for property record cards, assessment values, and the tax inventory.

ⓘ From the directory, select your city or town to reach its official website, then look for the Assessing or Assessor's Office. Many New Hampshire municipalities provide online property record cards through platforms such as Vision Government Solutions, Avitar Associates, or NH Tax Kiosk. The NH Department of Revenue Administration oversees statewide assessment standards but does not maintain individual property records.

Tax Records & Payment History

Property tax collection in New Hampshire is handled by each city or town's Tax Collector. All property tax bills and payments are administered at the municipal level. Use the NH.gov Cities & Towns directory to locate your municipality, then navigate to its Tax Collector's office for tax bills, payment history, and online payment options.

ⓘ From the directory, select your city or town to reach its official website, then look for the Tax Collector or Tax Collection section. New Hampshire property taxes are typically billed semi-annually. Online payment options vary by municipality. The NH Department of Revenue Administration sets tax policy but does not process municipal tax payments.

GIS Maps & Parcel Boundaries
