Town-wide Reappraisal Information
Your Town Listers have largely completed reappraisal of all Cornwall property values as required by the State of Vermont. Change of Appraisal notices were mailed to all property owners the week of April 7, 2025; pre-greivance informational sessions were held April 23rd and 24th; grievance hearings were held May 13th and 14th, and results of grievance mailed on May 23rd. That mailing includes information on how to appeal your grievance result to the Board of Civil Authority. Unless you have received a mailing stating otherwise, your next opportunity to grieve will be in the spring of 2026 for the 2025-2026 tax year. Information will be posted at Town Hall, on the Town web site, in the Town e-mail Newsletter, and in Front Porch Forum.
If you did not receive a Change of Appraisal notice, copies are available at Town Hall or on-line. The values in this mailing were developed by our consultants, NEMRC, through visits and sales studies. The value for your property was based on information collected over the last year. You can look at this information on the NEMRC website. A copy of the table included in that mailing is available on-line (link).

Reassessment Process
We use State-mandated valuation tables and computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) software based on data collected from Cornwall sales history for the three years prior to the last Town-wide appraisal, which was in 2009. Cornwall Listers will continue to use the 2009 database in our property inspections for the 2024-25 tax year. At the same time, every Cornwall property owner should have received a visit from a representative of NEMRC, our consultant, as they built a new database that will go into effect in the Fall 2025. Please contact us if you have any questions about the reappraisal process or property visits.
Cornwall Town Listers
The primary responsibility of the Cornwall Town Listers is to maintain the Town’s Grand List — the appraised value of all real estate property in the town. Your listers are also responsible for maintaining lists of State Current Use Program enrollment, homestead declarations, house-site values, statutory and Town-voted tax exemptions, and Town maps with property IDs and boundaries.
