How Does Vermont's Property Tax System Work?

Polls show most Vermonters like the idea of a tax on "second homes." Before we can truly judge whether one makes sense, we need to understand the system it would be added to. Vermont's property tax works differently from most states so there are a lot of misunderstandings, misconceptions, and oversimplifications about how property taxes work here. At a basic level which class your property is in decides which rate you pay, and the rate decides your bill.
