Property administration is by town, not county here in Vermont. Each town in Bennington County has their own office for real property information (ownership, valuation, etc,).

This office is responsible for setting the Town of Bennington’s Grand List of Real Property Values each year as of April 1. This Grand List is certified by the Board of Listers and lodged with the Town Clerk no later than August 14, but typically each year around May 15. The office also maintains property record files, tax maps, property transfers and other ownership changes.

Public access to department information is available during regular office hours.

Each year property owners who feel aggrieved by their assessed value(s) must submit a grievance letter to the Board of Listers up to 14 days after the yearly preliminary Grand List is filed (dates vary per year but typically around June 1).

NOTICE OF CHANGE IN APPRAISAL
A preliminary 2023 Grand List was filed with the Bennington Town Clerk and Change in Appraisal of Real Estate notices were mailed out Monday June 12 to all affected property owners in which there were substantive changes in land area and/or improvement size (new construction/additions/demolitions/sub-divisions etc.) that took place from April 1, 2022 to April 1, 2023. 

In addition, properties in which an error or an omission was found that changed assessed value were also sent a notice. Owners of properties for which no substantive changes have taken place over the last year will have their assessed valuations unchanged for the 2023 Grand List.

Property owners who feel aggrieved by their assessed value must submit a written grievance letter to the Board of Listers and received by the close of business June 26, 2023. Those with previously submitted grievance letters will be notified within the next few days. No hearing will be allowed without a letter to this office. Call 802-442-1042 M-F 7:30-4:30 for further information.
