Thinking about selling your Vermont land? Tell us where it is and what you know about it. We’ll review the details, and you can decide whether an offer fits your plans.
Start with the details you have. You don’t need every answer to reach out.
Start here: Find your county below, gather the land ID or tax bill you have, and tell us about your plans. You can reach out with the details you know.
You can ask questions before deciding what to do.
Share the location, acres and when you’d like to sell. Mention any loan, unpaid taxes or shared owners.
We look at the information you send. If we need more to review the land, we’ll ask. You can ask how any proposed offer works.
Read the written price, costs, dates and conditions. If you choose to move ahead, confirm the next steps with the people handling the closing.
Choose the area where the land sits, even if you live somewhere else.
Start with your property tax bill and the town where the land sits. Look for the SPAN. That stands for School Property Account Number. It's an 11-digit ID used to match the land to its tax record. Keep the whole number, including any zeros at the start.
Vermont's Current Use application guide explains where to find the number. The first six digits tie it to the town, and the last five can be found on your tax bill. The guide also points to the state's SPAN Finder.
The town's grand list is its property tax list. Ask the town for the record that matches your SPAN. Save the listed acres and the record year with the number.
If your land reaches into two towns, gather the details for both. If you own two pieces of land side by side, check whether the town lists them separately. Being next to each other doesn't mean they share one tax record. This matters when you want to sell one piece and keep the other.
If your land is in Vermont's Current Use program for eligible farm or forest land, keep the enrollment papers too. Check which acres those papers cover. The application asks for total acres and any acres left out, so the numbers may answer different questions.
Tell us which land you want to sell and share the records you have. Flag any numbers that don't agree so they can be checked before a sale moves ahead.

You don’t need a perfect file to start. A clear note is more useful than a guess that sounds certain.
For example: “I own about five acres in this county. I have the tax bill, but I haven’t found a survey. I’d like to compare offers before deciding.”
