In addition, if the dog has been spayed or neutered, the owner or keeper needs to furnish the town with the proper documentation. Failure to license your dog is a violation of State law.

A civil forfeiture fee will also be assessed in the amount of $25.00 , which is payable within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the notice of failure to register your dog(s). If the forfeiture fee is not paid within that time, a summons to appear in court shall be issued in accordance with State law requirements. Fees $20.00 - Kennel license of 5+ dogs $9.00 - Male or Female unaltered $6.50 – Spayed or Neutered $6.50 – Puppy (Dog must be under 7-months-old at time of registration) $2.00 – Senior Owner Fee for the first dog, then the regular price for each dog after that.

Acworth NH Tax Collector Tax Collector Tax Collector: Marianne Nevelson Hours: Monday 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. Phone: 603-835-6879 Email: taxcoll@sover.net Property Taxes General Information The Tax Collector has the responsibility of collecting property, yield and current use change taxes. Property tax bills are due semi-annually, in July and December. The 1st issue Property tax bills are due in the first week of July. (Note: 1st issue property tax bill amounts are an 'estimate only' and are based on one-half of the total prior-year property tax amount.) The 2nd Issue Property Tax Bills will be due no earlier than December 1st. The final tax rate is set by the State in the fall based on voter-approved budgets of Town, School, County and State Education requirements, and factoring in other tax-related funding sources. Taxpayers who need any information in regard to taxation or correction of errors must address all inquiries to the Selectmen's Office and NOT the Tax Collector. Payments If you want a receipt for payment, please bring or mail the entire bill with a self addressed stamped envelope. The bill will be marked paid (for the amount you submitted) and returned to you. We do not accept credit card payments. Payment of the bill does not prevent the collection of previous unpaid taxes, nor does an error in the name of the person taxed prevent collection. Mail payments to: Acworth Tax Collector P.O. Box 45 Acworth, NH 03601 Escrow Accounts If your taxes are in escrow, it is your responsibility to send a copy of your tax bill to your mortgage company, and to ensure payment.
