Town of Highgate, Vermont


Notice of Townwide Reappraisal Project

The Town of Highgate, VT has hired Tyler Technologies to conduct the townwide reappraisal project. At the conclusion of this project all property appraised values will be adjusted to an estimated market value as of 4/1/2027 in accordance with Vermont laws.

Property owners will be visited by a Tyler appraiser or Tyler data collector beginning late Spring into Summer 2026. 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 late Winter 2027. 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 property record card you will receive in the mail and check for errors. If an error is found, simply make the change on the record card, and return it to the Listers office or email it to [email protected]. 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 Spring of 2027, property owners will receive their preliminary appraised values notice by mail. The letter will provide instruction for review and how to schedule a property data review with Tyler appraisers. If you have questions, please feel free to email [email protected].
