BEFORE YOU USE THE WIZARD, BE AWARE THAT NOT EVERY TOWN SUBMITTED A WARRANT, EVEN IF YOU SEE THE TOWN IN THE LIST BELOW. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE TOWNS THAT HAVE SUBMITTED WARRANTS TO THIS DATABASE. Thanks.

HOW TO USE THE WIZARD:
  • Check link above to see if your town is in the database. Just because you see it in the drop-down list, does not mean that we received that town's warrant
  • Select a Town -- Select "All" or click on the towns you want (hold the Ctrl key for each town)
  • Select a Category, i.e. the town activity such as Transportation (roads,bridges), or Recreation,Culture, Library
  • Select Budget, non-budget or zoning if you think that will help you narrow your search. But you can just select All.
  • After you click Submit, if you want to switch the Dollar Amount column to show the smallest amounts first, just click on the words "Dollar Amount" at the top of the column.
  • Use your eyes when you do a search; when a town warrant article folds together many items such as police, fire and highway department spending, we give you all the separate details in the text but the price tag in the database is the one that goes with that single article; you see the sum, not the break down.
The beauty of this tool is you can easily scan for activity across many towns. The Wizard is made possible through a partnership between NHPR and the UNH MPA program. Without the hard work of four graduate students, this would not exist. If you want to help, send us any warrants that are missing, get your town to participate, and suggest ways to improve this next year.
