Why New Hampshire has no over-the-counter list
New Hampshire has no over-the-counter sale of tax liens or certificates. Unredeemed land becomes town property by tax deed, and any later disposal is the town's own sale under 80:80: by public auction, advertised sealed bids, or, where the governing body finds it in the public interest, another method such as listing with a broker or selling an undeveloped lot to an abutter (80:80 III, VI). A broker-listed parcel can be bought at any time it is listed, but that is a town property sale on the town's terms, not a statutory counter sale.
Does New Hampshire publish a lands-available list?
No statewide list. Ask each town's selectboard office or city assessor for its tax-deeded property list, or watch the town's website and newspaper notices.
Because there is no standing list, New Hampshire inventory reaches investors through the scheduled auctions instead. Check the county pages for each county's sale calendar, and compare against the states that do hold land off-auction before trusting any list marketed as an New Hampshire over-the-counter list.
