How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is primarily a municipal-lien state — and in most towns there is nothing for an outside investor to buy. Under the standard process, the municipality executes a tax lien in the town's own name after its annual tax-lien process, and if the lien goes unredeemed for two years, the tax collector executes a tax deed to the town itself. The town then resells the deeded property later. A minority of municipalities have opted into the lien-transfer provisions, which let the town sell or transfer liens to a third party; only in those towns can an investor buy a transferable lien. There is no statewide auction or platform — everything is handled by each municipal tax collector, so investors must identify the specific opt-in towns to participate.
Bidding & Auctions
In most towns there is no bidding at all — the municipality becomes the lienholder by operation of law and keeps the lien. Where a town's governing body has authorized transferring liens, the sale is by public auction or advertised sealed bids, with a minimum bid the town may set; liens are sold singly or in combination, with no fractional interests. Because this is municipal rather than county, deal flow is thin and scattered across individual towns. Resales of property the town has already deeded to itself are sometimes handled through a municipal RFP or a local auction firm rather than a lien sale.
Redemption & Penalties
Any party with a legal interest may redeem within two years of the lien's execution by paying the recorded lien amount with interest at 14% per annum from the date of execution, plus costs; a lien-transfer purchaser earns that same statutory redemption interest. If the lien is not redeemed within the two years, the tax collector executes a tax deed to the municipality (or lien transferee). Even after the deed, the former owner has a statutory repurchase right — the municipality must offer the property back — which, following Tyler v. Hennepin, now routes surplus equity back to the former owner. That repurchase right is distinct from classic redemption.
See New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated, Title V, Chapter 80. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

Can investors even buy tax liens in New Hampshire?▾
In most towns, no. The municipality keeps the lien and, after two years, deeds the property to itself. Only a minority of towns that opted into the lien-transfer provisions sell transferable liens to third parties.
What interest does a New Hampshire redemption pay?▾
Redemption interest is 14% per annum on the recorded lien amount from the date the lien is executed, plus costs. A lien-transfer purchaser earns that same statutory rate.
How long is the New Hampshire redemption period?▾
Two years from the execution of the tax lien. If it isn't redeemed within that window, the tax collector executes a tax deed to the municipality or lien transferee.
What happens to leftover equity after the deed?▾
After the deed, the former owner has a statutory repurchase right, and the municipality must offer the property back — a process that, following Tyler v. Hennepin, routes surplus equity back to the former owner. It is a repurchase right, not classic redemption.
