Townwide Reappraisal Project

The Town of Bakersfield, VT has hired Tyler Technologies to conduct the townwide reappraisal project. This means that all property appraised values will be adjusted to an estimated market value in accordance with Vermont laws.

Property owners may be visited by a Tyler appraiser or Tyler data collector beginning June 2025. They will be making their way through each neighborhood, visiting properties, verifying measurements of buildings, taking a photo of the front of each building, and correcting property data when needed. Data collectors may also ask residents/occupants questions about the property as it relates to property value. The purpose is to collect accurate information which will be applied to market calibrated tables. The intent is to produce accurate property valuations. Data collection will continue until early 2026. In addition to the data collection from the field, each property owner will receive a Data Mailer with the property information of their property.

Please review your Data Mailer and check for errors. If an error is found, simply, make the change on the Data Mailer, and return it to the Assessor’s office. Accurate information ensures the most accurate value for your property.

Once all property information is collected and corrections have been made to the property data, Tyler Technologies will analyze the data and calibrate the property data to a preliminary market value. In early 2026, property owners will receive their preliminary appraised values notice by mail. The letter will provide instruction for review and how to schedule an informal meeting with Tyler appraisers. The details of the property will be posted on the Assessor’s website. 

Key dates, as well as pictures of the data collectors, will be uploaded to this website. If you have questions about when a data collector is in your area, please feel free to contact the Town of Bakersfield Assessors Office at 802.827.4495 or [email protected].
