2012 Tax Rate Set for Hampton

Selectmen approved the tax warrant on Tuesday afternoon.

Hampton selectmen officially approved the tax warrant on Tuesday, signing off on a 2012 tax rate of $17.77.

The board held a brief meeting at 2 p.m. where the only business conducted was the approval of the tax warrant, Vice Chairman Dick Nichols said. The tax rate is down 16 cents from 2011's $17.93 tax rate.

That means a $325,000 home (the average assessed value of a single-family) will pay $5,775.25 compared to the $5,827.25 paid last year.
