The Town of Salem, New Hampshire is mailing the first installment of its 2026 property tax bill by the end of May.
This bill is due on or before July 1, 2026. An 8% per annum interest charge for unpaid balances will be assessed for payments made after the due date.
The July 1, 2026, invoice will be mailed in a first-class envelope, which will include a return envelope for the taxpayer’s convenience.
