How Vermont charges are calculated

For a qualifying principal residence, property transfer tax is 0.5% on the first $200,000 and 1.25% above that amount. The 0.22% clean water surcharge applies above $200,000. Recording is $15 per page, plus the $15 property-transfer-return filing fee for a deed. This calculator does not estimate other property uses: answer the main-home question before calculating.

Covered transactions and locations

Standard instruments for an ordinary taxable sale in one jurisdiction. No exemptions, gifts, family transfers, assumed liens, refinances, amendments, prior-tax credits, multiple jurisdictions or nonstandard documents. This calculator covers a buyer’s principal residence only. Other property uses, long-term rentals, affordable-housing financing, controlling interests and life estates need a separate calculation.
