2025 Grievance Hearings Scheduled

"Change of Appraisal" notices reflecting revisions to West Fairlee property values have been mailed to the owner(s) of record (as of April 1st, 2025). Each year we look at properties with ongoing construction, upgrades to the structures, or properties that have not been reviewed in recent years. Per Act 68, we are required to keep each property in town as close to market value as possible.

This year there will be in person meetings or by telephone.

The Listers Office will hold informational sessions on Saturday July 12th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.. This is the time we encourage you to review your property card information with us and to ask questions. Correct information is the key to an equitable Grand List. Any property owner may inquire about their values.

Public grievance hearings will be on Monday July 14th from 1 p.m. to 3 p m . We recommend "attending" an information session before grieving.

We will be using in person and telephone for both information sessions and grievance hearings. Call the Town Clerk at 802-333-9696 to schedule your appointment for an information session and/or a grievance hearing. You will need to provide your telephone number and/or an email address.

The session and hearing dates and how to schedule the required appointment will also be included with the Change of Appraisal notice. The form required for the grievance hearing can be found in the upper right corner of the Lister's page on the Town website. Plan to send this form to us prior to your appointment. You may email your request to lister@westfairleevt.gov. If you wish to mail your grievance request form, keep in mind it may take up to 10 days, so please mail the form early. The grievance hearing appointment may be withdrawn by the property owner or their assigned agent should they feel that the information session satisfied their concerns.
