Results of the 2007 Statistical Reappraisal

The State of Vermont requires property to be at 100% of fair market value as of April 1, 2007. The New England Municipal Consultants, Std. (NEMC) and the Board of Listers have completed the statistical reappraisal of the 2007 Grand List. Enclosed you will find the new value of your property. The Board of Listers has given their approval to the project.

We have posted the reappraisal values for comparison. Please click on the links below.

Valuation by Location

Note: You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the PDF documents. If you do not have this program, please click here to download it.

You may also purchase your own copy for $5 at the town offices.

If you feel your reappraisal value is not a fair indication of market value, you may grieve your assessment. The value can be adjusted for only 3 reasons:

The new value does not represent market value as of April 1, 2007.
The new value is unfair when compared to other NEW values.
The data concerning my home is incorrect.

The value cannot be lowered because it went up too much or you have concerns about your tax bill. The selectmen will set the tax rate when the grievance period is over.

If you have questions, or would like to schedule an appointment for a grievance hearing, call our office before June 18, 2007 at 802-468-2751 ext, 217 or 224.

We would like to thank everyone for their support and understanding.

Board of Listers,

April Morse
Nancy Trudo
Kim Miller
