Board of Listers

The 2025 Grand List, as lodged, can be found HERE.

According to Vermont State Statutes, the Board of Listers issues Change of Assessment letters, hears and adjudicates grievances, lodges the Grand List, participates in Board of Civil Authority hearings, sits on the Board of Abatement, and meets (usually monthly) to receive correspondence and attend to other matters. The Board of Listers plays an important role in educating the public about the assessment process. The Listers staff their office part-time, which is open to the public on Thursdays from 9:00am to 4:00pm or by appointment.  

A searchable data base is available online for property record cards containing assessment data for every property in Town which can be viewed and printed from the Town’s website as follows:

Searchable Property Record Cards

If you own and occupy your Vermont residence as your primary dwelling on April 1st, you MUST file your Homestead Declaration, Form HS-122, with the Vermont Department of Taxes on or before April 15^th each year. You cannot extend the HS-122 filing date if you file for an extension of your Vermont income tax return. The penalty for late filing is 4% of the education tax.  You can complete and mail the form HS-122 or file online through the website of the Vermont Department of Taxes at: http://tax.vermont.gov/property-owners/homestead-declaration . We anticipate that the State website will be open for 2026 Homestead Declaration filing in early February 2026.  If you use tax preparation software or a tax professional to file your return, it is imperative that you receive confirmation of a successful filing of the HS-122 from the State.  For this reason, the Listers recommend that all Norwich property owners who are required to file a Homestead Declaration do so themselves (preferably online).  If you elect to file by mail, it would be prudent to send your HS-122 via certified mail return receipt requested.
