Weekly Property Transfer Tax Data
The Vermont Department of Taxes has recently updated the weekly public Property Transfer Tax (PTT) data to make the data accessible for all members of the public. The data has been migrated to an updated web server accessed through all web browsers and has been restructured to align more closely with form PTT-172, Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, and form PTT-175, Additional Transferors and Transferees.
We recognize that this change may require updated procedures for those who use automated processes to analyze and compile the weekly data. The Department has provided updated documentation to identify how the fields in the updated file formats match the lines on the PTT forms. The past five years of property transfer tax returns have been made available in the new file format. Should you have any questions, please contact us at tax.rett@vermont.gov.
Property Transfer Tax Reports
These reports hold information on property sales by town and property category. Furthermore, details for total sales, average, and median selling prices of properties for valid sales are reported. Valid sales represent true market transactions between a willing buyer and seller, excluding straw transfers or sales between immediate family members, among others.
