Overall Vergennes tax hike seen at 13 cents

Posted on June 30, 2016 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



VERGENNES — The Vergennes City Council on Tuesday used some creative accounting and a new, larger projected fund balance to hold the 2016-2017 increase in the municipal portion of the city tax rate to 4 cents, while adopting a $2.23 million general fund budget. 

The new municipal tax rate will be 79 cents, up from 75 cents in Vergennes’ 2015-2016 fiscal year that ends on June 30.

The municipal tax rate increase of about 5.3 percent will translate to an additional $80 a year in taxes on a $200,000 home.
