What stands out about how Langdon is run

Read from the town’s budget and official records.

The school district

Fall Mountain Regional School District

Langdon’s K–12 school district, shared with Acworth, Alstead, Charlestown, Walpole. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.

Of the $24,994 per pupil, $15,101 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

About $1,270 per resident a year, or $3.48 a day

Property taxes 90%From the state 8%Other taxes & licenses 1%Interest, fines & other 1%From other local governments <1%

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

An estimate

Langdon 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 $159,000; interest on debt $10,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $1.1 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.
