Major Vermont Taxes

Property Taxes

The Homestead Education Tax Rate is based in part on the education spending per equalized pupil of all the pupils residing in your town. Many town districts are also members of union school districts. Each town and union school district will have a tax rate based on its spending per pupil. For towns with multiple school districts, the tax rate is a combination of those rates.

Non-Residential Tax Rates:
For tax year 2010 (FY11), the base tax rate for non-residential property is $1.35. It is adjusted by the town's common level of appraisal (CLA).

Non-Residential Tax Rate = Base Rate / CLA

Your town’s CLA is located on the homestead education tax information sheet available on the town-specific homestead detail reports below.
