What is a Vermont Property Tax Adjustment Claim?

Vermont homeowners may be eligible for a credit against their 2020/2021 Vermont property tax. The 2020 property tax adjustment is based on 2019 household income and 2019/2020 property tax. A homeowner may be eligible for an adjustment if all four of the following requirements are met:

1. Filed a valid Homestead Declaration
2. Domiciled in Vermont all of calendar year 2019
3. Not claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer for tax year 2019
4. Had household income in 2019 up to $136,500 (Determine household income by completing Schedule HI-144.)

The Property Tax Adjustment Claim is due by April 15, 2020.

The maximum 2020 Property Tax Adjustment is $8,000. The property tax adjustment will appear as a state payment on your 2020/2021 property tax bill.
