About these tools

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Stowe and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

How the rate is set

Why your assessed value jumped in 2024

Stowe's 2024 town-wide reappraisal brought assessed values back in line with the market, and values roughly doubled — the average home is now around $1.5 million. A higher value paired with a lower rate can still land near the same bill; the value and the rate move together.

What the CLA is, in plain words

The Common Level of Appraisal (CLA) corrects for town assessments drifting away from real market prices. When a town's values lag the market, the CLA falls below 100% and the state pushes the school rate up to compensate. Because Stowe just reappraised to full market value, its CLA reset to about 106%, so it no longer inflates the rate. The rates here are the final, already-adjusted rates that appear on your bill — you don't apply the CLA again on top.

What can lower your bill

Property Tax Credit (income-based)

If you own and live in your Vermont home and your household income is $115,400 or less, you may get a credit that lowers your bill — sometimes by thousands of dollars. You claim it each year with your Vermont income tax return (Form HS-122). For most resident homeowners it's the single biggest thing you can do about the bill.
