Town of Hudson NH

What Town of Hudson NH does

The Town of Hudson, New Hampshire is a municipal government entity serving approximately 25,787 residents across 29 square miles in southern New Hampshire, 44 miles north of Boston. Incorporated in 1746, it operates under a Board of Selectmen form of government (in place since 1992) and delivers essential public services through 16 departments including Police, Fire/EMS, Public Works, Water and Sewer Utilities, Planning, Assessing, Finance, Recreation, and Community Media (HCTV). The Town employs approximately 67 staff, with IT supporting around 300 users across 12 town-owned buildings plus remote sites.

Its technology footprint is built on standard municipal platforms: a public-facing GIS portal (gis.hudsonnh.gov), property assessment data via Vision Government Solutions, online bill payment through Invoice Cloud, a Municode-hosted website and code repository, and HCTV community television broadcasting on cable Channels 6, 8, and 22. Recently digitized services include an Online Burn Permit System (launched June 3, 2024), online permitting and tax payment portals, and an active RFQ for new municipal financial software. Core physical infrastructure includes 190 miles of maintained roadways, a 24/7 communications/ dispatch center, and a 166-acre passive recreation property (Benson Park) acquired in 2008-2009 from the former Benson's Wild Animal Farm.

Revenue mechanics are those of a typical small-city municipal budget: property taxes (2025 rate of $17.11 per $1,000 of assessed value), monthly water and sewer utility charges, transaction fees (motor vehicle registration, dog licensing, building permits, recreation programs), and state/federal funding (transportation grants, MS4 storm water grants, ERZ tax-credit administration). The 2025 final property tax rate of $17.11 is described as one of the lowest in New Hampshire. The Town's go-to-market approach is direct-to-resident service delivery across in-person (Town Hall at 12 School Street, five satellite offices), online self-service, phone, and community-media channels — supplemented by event-driven engagement (Old Home Days, CPR Challenge, recreation programs) and six department-specific Facebook pages.
