Useful offices

Start with the office that handles your question

These offices serve different purposes in the Town of St. Johnsbury. An assessment, a tax-bill balance, a land record, and a court case are not interchangeable. For a court judgment or case notice, use the court and case information on the paper and ask a title professional whether it affects the sale.

Town Clerk & Treasurer

Town of St. Johnsbury

Start here for Town land-record access and questions about property-tax bills or payments. A deed record and an unpaid tax balance are different questions, so have the document or bill in front of you.

Assessor's Office

Town of St. Johnsbury

Helpful Vermont rule

The buyer's use affects Vermont property transfer tax

Vermont's general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a total of 1.47%. A house fit for year-round living that is neither the buyer's principal residence nor a qualifying long-term rental has a higher total rate of 3.62%. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment. The closing attorney will apply the right category, so ask which buyer-use category applies to your sale.

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.

St. Johnsbury seller resource questions

Who handles an assessed-value question or an unpaid property-tax bill?

For a property in the Town of St. Johnsbury, ask the Assessor's Office about assessments, property records, or tax maps. The Town Clerk & Treasurer page is the starting point for tax-bill and payment questions. An assessed value is not the amount due on a tax bill.

Where should I ask about a deed or a court judgment?

The Town Clerk & Treasurer provides the Town land-record access route for recorded documents. If you have a court judgment or case notice, use the court and case information on that paper; a title or closing professional can review whether a record affects the sale. An assessment does not answer a deed or case-status question.

What Vermont property transfer tax applies to a house sale?

The rate depends on how the buyer will use the property. The general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a total of 1.47%. A house fit for year-round living that is neither the buyer's principal residence nor a qualifying long-term rental has a higher total rate of 3.62%. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment. The closing attorney will apply the right category. 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.
