Buying near the reservoir?

For camps, confirm year-round use, road access, septic, and water. Our second home guide covers what to check.
Getting Around

Costs to Plan For
Vermont's property transfer tax, paid by the buyer at closing, is 0.5% on the first $200,000 of a primary residence and 1.47% above that; 3.62% for a second home suitable for year-round use; 1.47% for camps not suited to year-round use and land; and a VHFA-financed primary residence is exempt on the first $250,000.
