About Property Taxes in Vermont
Vermont's property tax system is unusual because education taxes are administered at the state level while municipal taxes are administered locally. Most Vermont property owners receive a single bill that includes both the education tax (set by the state) and the municipal tax (set by the town). Vermont's education property tax system allows lower-income homeowners to pay education taxes based on their income rather than their property value — a major benefit. Property is assessed at fair market value by local listers (Vermont's term for assessors). Vermont towns are required to conduct property reappraisals to maintain assessment equity.
