We Lower Your Vermont Property Taxes — Or You Don't Pay
Residential and commercial. We file your grievance, build your evidence, attend your hearing, and negotiate your reduction. You only pay when we save you money.
How It Works
Four steps from overassessed to overtaxed no more.
Free Assessment
We pull your property's grand list data, comparable sales, and recent assessments to determine if you're overvalued. Takes 2 minutes to request.
We File Your Grievance
We file your written grievance with your town's Board of Listers before the grievance deadline. You sign one authorization form.
Evidence & Hearing
We build your evidence using comparable sales, market data, and property condition analysis. We present your case at the grievance hearing and negotiate your reduction.
You Save Money
If we win a reduction, you pay 30% of the first-year tax savings. If we don't reduce your assessment, you pay nothing.
Why Appeal Your Vermont Property Tax
Vermont property taxes are among the highest in the nation. Don't overpay.
Vermont Taxes Are High
Vermont's effective property tax rate averages 1.59% — well above the national average. Chittenden County averages over $4,000 per year. Commercial and nonhomestead rates are even higher.
Listers Overassess
Town listers use mass appraisal methods that frequently overvalue properties. Statewide reappraisals and the new 2025 Statewide Adjustment make appeals more important than ever.
Appeals Work
The grievance process exists for a reason — listers make mistakes. A well-documented case with comparable evidence frequently results in a meaningful reduction at the grievance or BCA hearing stage.
Zero Risk to You
On contingency, you only pay when we deliver results. There's no reason not to appeal — the worst case is your assessment stays the same.

Find Your CountyFrequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Vermont property tax appeal process.
What does "contingency" mean?
You pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we successfully reduce your property's assessed value. Our fee is 30% of the first-year tax savings we achieve for you.
When is the deadline to file a grievance?
In Vermont, grievance deadlines are set by each town, typically falling between mid-May and early June. The statutory latest dates are June 19 for smaller towns and July 9 for towns with 5,000+ residents. Check your appraisal notice or contact your town listers for the exact date.
Do I need to attend the hearing?
No. As your authorized representative, we handle everything — filing the grievance, preparing evidence, and attending your hearing before the listers or the Board of Civil Authority.
What if my appeal doesn't result in a reduction?
You pay nothing. That's the benefit of contingency — we take on the risk, not you.
How much can I expect to save?
Savings vary by property type, location, and current assessment. Homeowners in Vermont typically see reductions of $500–$5,000+ in annual tax savings. Commercial property owners often save significantly more.
What happens after the lister grievance?
If the listers don't grant a satisfactory reduction, you have 14 days to appeal to the Board of Civil Authority (BCA). The BCA conducts its own hearing and site inspection. Beyond that, appeals can go to the State Appraiser or Vermont Superior Court.
Do you handle both residential and commercial?
Yes. We appeal property tax assessments for single-family homes, condos, multi-family, commercial buildings, industrial properties, and land across all 14 Vermont counties.
