Assessment

The Assessing Department assesses all real property in the City of Barre. The Assessor’s office prepares and files the Grand List and maintains the individual assessment records for all recorded parcels in Barre City. The office also maintains maps indicating the location of properties in the City. Property Transfer Returns and field inspections are used to update the assessment records on a regular basis.

Assessment changes are made annually for building improvements, additions, removal of buildings, subdivisions of land, etc.
