How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

If property taxes go unpaid in Vermont
How it works. Municipal tax sale to private bidder or municipality, followed by 1-year statutory redemption period and collector deed; municipalities may purchase when adequate private bid is unavailable
Excess sale money. Current statute does not establish one general post-deed private-purchaser equity-return system. Vermont Act 106 working-group report states municipality that is purchaser must return excess eventual-sale proceeds under Bogie/Tyler principles, but group did not reach consensus on a private-investor equity solution. Leave private-purchaser equity treatment as unresolved/current-policy gap
