Town of Shelburne Reappraisal

Vermont law requires cities and towns to appraise all taxable property at fair market value to ensure that property owners pay their fair share of city and school district taxes. Shelburne’s last reappraisal was completed 17 years ago for the 2008 Grand List. Since then, on average, property values have doubled. Shelburne began the townwide reappraisal process in 2019 for the 2023 Grand List, but due to COVID and other factors this has been delayed. The Town has now partnered with Tyler Technologies to complete the reappraisal.

Property owners may be visited by a Tyler appraiser or Tyler data collector beginning July 2025. They will be making their way through each neighborhood, visiting the more than 3,100 properties, verifying measurements of buildings 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 through December 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 2027, 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 us.
