Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Croydon collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Croydon didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
No comparison or trend for Croydon yet
Every year of Croydon’s figures is a Census Bureau estimate: the town reported none of its dollars for 2022. Estimates are shown above, labeled, but never ranked against places that reported or drawn as a trend.

Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.20% of the home’s value, vs 1.66% across New Hampshire.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
