If you want to pay less in taxes, then you need to move somewhere else. The lack of sales tax is MORE than made up for in property taxes.

Recently compared tax rates with relatives in CT and they aren’t that different. Depends on town and how much income tax you’re avoiding.

You'll be paying the landlords property tax via your rent.

It really isn't. People in this sub act like NH is the only state with property taxes. It's highly town dependent. If you make over around 75k, then most towns in NH will be a better deal for you tax wise than most MA towns given equal property values at each.

This is, of course, a highly specific calculation for each individual/family. The reputation NH gets is driven mostly by the property value poor towns in the Southwest of the state that have crazy high rates (and proportionally lower values).
