We have been told the largest % of the taxes is the school budget and that is set by the state.

You have been told that by people who want "the state" to pay for all local school budget choices.
New Hampshire has allowed towns to set a cap on property tax increases since 2011, and this summer Sununu signed SB383 to expand the property tax cap law. This isn't always helpful, for example Newfound’s tax cap limits the annual increase in the amount to be raised by property taxes to 2%, which may be a problem for them today

Newfound school district will set precedent regarding tax cap
BRISTOL — The Newfound Area School District was the first in the state to adopt a property tax cap after the New Hampshire Legislature passed the enabling legislation in 2011.
Weird, I remember multiple school spending items up for vote, so not entirely "set by the state". IIRC, the state just sets a minimum per-pupil baseline?
Where in NC?
I’ve been having that argument with folks in Derry, NH. Our real estate taxes went up and they are whining that the reason is because the state doesn’t pay enough. When I point out that money from the state would come from the same place (us taxpayers), they get all mad. They say that the state should legalize weed because the tax money from weed would provide all the money we need.
Somehow the answer is never that we need to reduce spending…

Are you actively involved (e.g., serve on finance board) with assisting with identifying ways to reduce spending? Is that who you are arguing with or just people in general?
I just moved here, so folks in general. I’m well aware that cutting spending is easier said than done

Out-of-Control Spending by Local Governments Leads to Soaring Property Taxes
Property taxes are on the rise across the country. This increases financial pressure on homeowners who have already been blindsided by historic inflation.

Living here in New Hampshire, I have no gripe about the property taxes. The 1/2-acre lot that we lived on in North Chelmsford is currently paying $6,965.00 plus state income taxes and sales taxes.
Here in Swanzey we are paying $7,506.00 for 19 acres (15 in current use, recreation) house, two garages, 1 which is a large building 32 X 70 which has a heated full shop and barn. We also have a two pig barns, plus a one-acre paddock for the horses. Oh, we also have about three quarters of a mile of river front on the Ashuelot River.

Pulled some old bills. 2015 the NH Tax was 4365.45. The 2025 Tax will be 5913.41.
ROUGHLY in 10 years up 1547.96 or a bit over 35%. (this is a simple calculation)
So following the trend 2035 the tax will be just a shade under 8000.00 (again, a simple calculation)
It's a 3-season camp, no foundation so so water in the freezing months.
If it was a year round home the taxes would easily be in the 9300 range.

The power to tax is the power to enslave. It's the new slavery plain and simple.
People have figured they can get others to pay for what they want. If they had to pay for it themselves it would be a hard pass.

You need to find property on land grants. My inlaws $900ishK house in Hales Location is about $2K in taxes per year. Looks like association fees are $250 a month. That comes with deeded rights to free golf for I think 4 people. You can golf every day if you want.

Hale's Location is one of 25 unincorporated places in NH. It's the only one in Carroll County. (Livermore is in Grafton County; the other 23 are in Coös County.)
As you point out, it's a private golf resort. Not exactly representative of rural NH property. Also, any zoning or building codes are up to the county, since Hales Location has no government other than the HOA. The money there makes the Commissioners rather lenient, since million dollar homes aren't usually ramshackle shacks.

They're all for the children until you want to build new houses in town. Then those new children become the worst thing for a school since asbestos tiles.
LOL, NES tax rates threads are like renting vs owning threads, when someone compares an apartment in the city next to everything vs a house 2 hours away.
Your property sounds amazing, and you seme to love it. That is awsosme.
But you had to move pretty far away from anything major, such as good hospitals, to get it. I would hope you get more for the taxes.
Let's try to compare properties that are somewhat similar to where you lived. How much would your 15 acres pay closer to maybe Manchester?
Again, not giving you sh*t, and I would still choose NH property tax over all the MA taxes.

Actually, this property is kind of unique, We are secluded but not isolated. Cheshire Medical Center in Keene is about six miles away. Brattleboro Memorial Hospital is about forty minutes away. They would handle the medical issues that they could at their level. anything major you are on your way to Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Lebanon, NH. Shopping centers? We have most of the major stores, Market Basket, Hannaford's, and Price Chopper. Yeah, we have Target and Walmart, Home Depot. I use the local merchants whenever possible.
When we were making the move to escape that state we were very particular about what we were looking for and what was not acceptable.
