Inspecting records is free under New Hampshire's Right-to-Know Law, and agencies may charge only the actual cost of copies.

Ask the Madison police department records unit for incident and accident reports; towns without full-time police are covered by the New Hampshire State Police. Accident reports filed with the state can also be requested from the Division of Motor Vehicles.
Cases from Carroll County are heard by the New Hampshire Superior Court and Circuit Court for the county. The Judicial Branch's Case Access Portal lets the public look up electronically filed cases online, with registration for fuller access.
Deeds and mortgages are recorded at the Carroll County Registry of Deeds, which offers online land records. Property in New Hampshire is assessed and taxed by the town, so the town assessor sets the value and the town tax collector sends the bill.
