Estimate Your Property Tax

Put in your assessed value to estimate the yearly bill — school and town, with the 2024 reappraisal and the CLA explained.

Stowe's 2024 reappraisal roughly doubled assessed values, and the school budget pushed rates up — so a lot of bills jumped. Put in your assessed value to see a plain estimate of the yearly bill and where it goes. These are Stowe's certified FY2026 rates.

An estimate, not your bill

This multiplies your assessed value by the town’s published rates. It doesn’t include any credit or exemption you may qualify for (see below), and a property’s special circumstances can change the figure. Your actual bill comes from the Town of Stowe.

How the rate is set

Why your assessed value jumped in 2024

Stowe's 2024 town-wide reappraisal brought assessed values back in line with the market, and values roughly doubled — the average home is now around $1.5 million. A higher value paired with a lower rate can still land near the same bill; the value and the rate move together.

What the CLA is, in plain words

The Common Level of Appraisal (CLA) corrects for town assessments drifting away from real market prices. When a town's values lag the market, the CLA falls below 100% and the state pushes the school rate up to compensate. Because Stowe just reappraised to full market value, its CLA reset to about 106%, so it no longer inflates the rate. The rates here are the final, already-adjusted rates that appear on your bill — you don't apply the CLA again on top.

What can lower your bill

Property Tax Credit (income-based)

If you own and live in your Vermont home and your household income is $115,400 or less, you may get a credit that lowers your bill — sometimes by thousands of dollars. You claim it each year with your Vermont income tax return (Form HS-122). For most resident homeowners it's the single biggest thing you can do about the bill.
