Property tax in Vermont is a local tax based on the assessed value of your home and land. The average effective rate — the tax actually paid as a share of market value — is about 1.59% statewide, though the real figure depends on your county, school district and any special levies. On the median Vermont home of roughly $390,000, that works out to about $6,201 a year. Most homeowners pay it monthly through an escrow account bundled into their mortgage payment.
