Proctor Reappraisal 2026
The town of Proctor has completed a town wide reappraisal for the 2026 tax year. This was necessary because the town assessment ratio was ~62% as determined by the state of Vermont. This means that on average properties in Proctor were assessed at 62% of sale prices for actual sales in Proctor over the past 3 years. Vermont towns are required to re-assess to maintain an assessment ratio within 15% of 100% of Fair Market Value. The reappraisal was also necessary to ensure equity among taxpayers such that some parcels may have been a different ratio of Fair Market Value than others and thus the change in assessment may be different than the average. Some taxpayers are asking how the increased assessment for 2026 will impact their taxes. While the assessor does not determine the tax rate and is only responsible for determining and maintaining assessed value; we can give the following general guidelines.
The new assessments for 2026 will not be applied to the same tax rate as for 2025, but the tax rate will be adjusted based on the increase in the overall Grand List value on the municipal side (the left side of your tax bill) and based on the correction to the assessment ratio (CLA) to 100% of Fair Market Value on the education side (the right side of your tax bill). While we would never give taxpayers any guarantee on actual tax increases or decreases, the adjustment to these tax rates will result in a lower tax rate for 2026 than for 2025. Bear in mind that tax rates are also set based upon municipal spending in town and the education base rate set by the state, which may increase based on inflation as they have in recent years.
If you wish to grieve your assessment you may do so in a written statement to the town assessor, Lisa Wright, or email her at assessor@proctorvermont.com, you may also complete the attached form below:
