Town Hall · Dublin

In Dublin, 86% of adult citizens voted for president in 2024, more than across New Hampshire

Dublin’s town government spent $2.7 million on day-to-day services in the year to December 31, 2022, about $1,740 per resident. These are Census Bureau estimates: Dublin didn’t report its figures, so this page shows them without comparisons.

What stands out about how Dublin is run

Read from the town’s budget and official records.

The school district

Contoocook Valley School District

Dublin’s K–12 school district, shared with Antrim, Bennington, Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.

long-term debt

Of the $28,279 per pupil, $17,402 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.

Your share of the 2022 budget

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Dublin collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

An estimate

Dublin didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $136,000; interest on debt $2,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $2.9 million.

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.
