Local offices
A property valuation, Town tax balance, recorded deed, and court case are different records. Start with the office that handles the question and ask it to confirm details for the specific property or case.
Town of Middlebury · assessments and parcel records
Use the Assessor’s Office or Board of Listers for assessment and parcel-record questions. The Town says its map and property-card information is approximate and based on prior grand-list information; it is not a survey or a determination of boundaries or title.
For a recorded deed or mortgage, use the Town Clerk rather than the assessment record.
Town of Middlebury · Town property-tax and utility accounts
Contact Finance/Treasurer for a Town property-tax bill, account balance, payoff, or utility-payment question. Ask the Town to confirm the amount for the specific parcel; assessed value and the payment account are separate records.
Town of Middlebury · deeds and recorded land records
Use the Town Clerk for local records that include deeds, mortgages, permits, and other recorded land documents. The Town’s online index covers records from 1955 to current; an index search is not a title opinion.
The Town lists the Clerk’s Office at 77 Main Street, first floor, Middlebury.
Town of Middlebury · permits, inspections, and certificate requests
Use Planning & Zoning for permit and inspection contacts, including the Town’s Certificate of Occupancy inspection route after construction. The Town also has a Certificate of Compliance request process. Ask about the specific address and file; these resources do not determine whether a certificate or inspection applies to a particular house.
Vermont state court · probate division listed in Middlebury
For an estate matter, check the division and instructions on the actual court papers. The Judiciary directory lists this office, but its contact listing does not decide venue, estate authority, or who may sign for a particular property.

Vermont state court · civil division listed in Middlebury
If civil or foreclosure case papers affect a sale, use the division and response instructions shown on those papers and get case-specific guidance. The Judiciary directory lists this office; the listing alone does not establish venue, a deadline, or the effect of a judgment on a particular property.

Vermont selling cost
Vermont’s general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a total of 1.47%. A year-round house that is not the buyer’s principal residence or a qualifying long-term rental has a higher combined rate of 3.62%. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment. Ask the closing attorney which category applies to your sale and check the actual transaction figures.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont’s property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
