Costs to Plan For
Vermont's property transfer tax on a primary residence is 0.5% on the first $200,000 and 1.47% above that, about $17,200 at the $1,300,000 Charlotte median. A second home pays 3.62%, about $47,100 at the same price. For lakefront homes, check the FEMA flood map and the seller's required flood disclosure, and for larger parcels ask whether the land is enrolled in Vermont's Current Use program.
