The City's last municipal-wide valuation update was completed with an April 1, 2021 effective date of value for the 2021 tax year. Prior to 2021, the City completed annual valuation updates dating back to 2004. 

Going forward, the Concord Assessors' office will reassess all real estate within the municipality at (or near) 100% of fair market value at least every five years as required under RSA 75:8-a. Between revaluations, annually the Concord Assessors' office will analyze market sales throughout the City to identify and implement needed value changes to the affected areas or classes of property through the statistical update process.
