Use the Auburn services payment page only after verifying the town
The payment page should be used only after you are sure the service belongs to Auburn, NH and the bill is correct.
Open Auburn Services payment pageUse check-only drop box rules after hours
If you pay outside regular office hours, Auburn Town Hall has a secure drop box to the right of the entrance door. Do not put cash in the drop box.

Auburn NH Property Tax Bills: July First Bill and December Final Bill
Auburn follows New Hampshire’s April 1 to March 31 tax year and issues two property tax bills per year.
| Bill | Official timing | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| First tax bill | Mailed near the end of May; usually due around July 1 | This is an estimate based on one-half of the previous year’s tax rate. |
| 2026 first bill update | Due July 6, 2026; mailed around May 28 | Auburn’s 2026 notice says owners who did not receive a bill by June 3 should contact the Tax Collector. |
| Second tax bill | Typically mailed by the end of October; due approximately December 1 | The final bill uses the new tax rate, assessed value as of April 1, and credits payments already made on the first bill. |
Why the July and December bills can look different
The first bill is only an estimate. The second bill is calculated after the State of New Hampshire sets the town’s annual tax rate in the fall. Because the final tax rate and assessed value are used for the second bill, the December bill can be higher than the July bill.
What if you own multiple parcels?
The official Tax Collector page says owners should contact the office if a bill is not received for each parcel. Do not assume one bill covers every lot, structure or related property.
Official sources: Auburn Tax Collector tax bill timing and 2026 Tax Bills Due July 6 notice.New Auburn NH Property Owner Checklist After Closing
Auburn’s official page says bills are sent to the last known owner as required by state law, and new owners are responsible for making sure taxes are paid.
Right after purchase
- Find your map/lot or parcel details.
- Ask the closing company how taxes were handled.
- Check if a first or second bill is pending.
- Confirm your mailing address in writing.
- Keep settlement statement and tax proration records.
Before the next due date
- Call the Tax Collector if no bill arrives.
- Ask whether seller, lender or escrow paid.
- Verify if a mortgage company is responsible.
- Save proof if someone else pays.
- Do not wait for a late notice.
Closing-paper warning
Tax proration at closing does not always prove the town has received payment. A settlement statement may explain who owed money at closing, but the town account still needs to show the bill as paid.
If you bought property in Auburn, confirm the actual tax status with the Tax Collector and confirm ownership/mailing-address records with the correct town office. This is especially important between the May/July first bill and the October/December final bill.
Auburn Town Hall 24-Hour Drop Box: Check Payments Only
Auburn Town Hall has a secure drop-off box located to the right of the entrance door. The official page says to use this box for check payments outside regular business hours and not to place cash in the box.
Use the drop box only for check payments
The official Auburn instruction is clear: do not place cash in the drop box.
Include identifying bill details
Include the bill stub, owner name, parcel/map-lot reference, phone number or enough information for the office to apply the payment correctly.
Call if you use it near a deadline
If interest or lien timing matters, ask how drop box payments are dated, processed and posted.
No cash reminder
Never leave cash in the drop box. Use a check and keep your own record. If you need a receipt, call the office and ask the safest way to document payment.
