Notice to Charlotte Property Owners

Vermont statutes require that all taxable property be appraised at its fair market value so that each property owner will pay his/her equitable share of town and school expenses.
APAS, LLC has completed a reappraisal of all real property in the Town of Charlotte as of April 1, 2008. Over the past four years we have inspected all properties and entered the information into a computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) system. Many changes in property values have occurred since the previous reappraisal in 2004. The new values are based on representative sales that have occurred during the past four years.
Change of appraisal notices will be mailed out on June 9 to all property owners. The notices will be in newspaper format and will include owner name, location, previous assessment and new assessment for each property in Charlotte.
