Witherspoon Seeks Overhaul of Vermont Property Taxes
Vermont Tax Commissioner Gerald Witherspoon said he will introduce a 1967 bill to recodify and restate the state's property tax laws. Proposals include 50 percent appraisal of Grand Lists, a dual appeals system, Jan 1 listing date, Aug 1 final Grand Lists, and state funding for technical aid to towns. The measure aims to reduce ambiguities and shift some administration from towns to the state while preserving local control over tax rates. Chanukkah begins Wednesday with eight-day candle lighting ceremonies, including in Bennington where candles are available from Joseph Shaffe on Main Street.
