Vermont Property Tax Rate
There are two types of property taxes in Vermont: local property taxes and the state education tax rate. Local property tax rates are determined by municipalities and are applied to a home’s assessed value. The assessed value is determined by local assessors, who are called listers in Vermont. The state’s “education tax” supports schools (as do local school district taxes in most other states) and is the largest single source of property taxes in Vermont.
The average effective property tax rate in Vermont is 1.86%, which ranks as the fifth-highest rate in the U.S. The typical homeowner in Vermont can expect to spend $4,340 annually in property taxes.
