2024 Grievance Hearings Scheduled

"Change of Appraisal" notices reflecting revisions to West Fairlee property values will be mailed to the owner(s) of record (as of April 1st, 2024) on June 3rd, 2024. 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 information sessions on Saturday June 15th from 11am to 1:00 pm. 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 June 24th from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. 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 be included with the Change of Appraisal notice. The form required for the grievance hearing can be found 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 The grievance hearing appointment may be withdrawn by the property owner or their assigned agent should they feel that the information session satisfied their concerns.
