Lister/Assessor Roles and Responsibilities

The Listers/Assessor maintain the town’s Grand List (GL), which is a summary of all property values in the town. The Grand List informs the Selectboard and property taxes rates. Regular maintenance of the GL is required to ensure that the property tax burden is fairly distributed among taxpayers. The Listers/Assessor inspect new and changed property, compile and analyze sales data, provide the public with assessment information, supply required data and reports to the state of Vermont, and other duties. The listers serve as members of the Huntington Board of Abatement (BOA).

The Town of Huntington has elected listers. A contracted professional assessor performs property appraisal.

Homestead Declaration

For tax purposes, property is classified as either homestead or as nonresidential. These property classes are subject to education tax and municipal tax at different rates. To be taxed at the homestead rate, the property owners must file a Homestead Declaration with the Vermont Department of Taxes. The Homestead Declaration declares that the property owner is a Vermont resident and occupies the property as their principle dwelling as of April 1. The completed Declaration is due to the state each year on or before April 15.

Current Use

The properties enrolled in the Current Use program consist of agricultural land, forest land, conservation land, and farm buildings. New Current Use Applications and additional information are available on the State of Vermont Department of Taxes website.

Tax Exemptions for Veterans

Vermont offers primary residence property tax reduction for eligible disabled veterans or their survivor. Additional information is available from the State of Vermont Office of Veterans Affairs and the State of Vermont Department of Taxes websites.

Grievance Appeal Process

The next opportunity to grieve Huntington property assessment values will be in June 2026.

In the state of Vermont, all property owners have the right to grieve their property assessment values (i.e., their Grand List Value). Challenges to property assessment values are in the form of grievance hearing appeals, which are conducted annually by the Town’s Board of Listers. Typically, the Town of Huntington’s annual grievance period is in June.
