Looking to hopefully own land in VT one day- what is the tax situation like owning property there? Might be more of a DM thing but really curious to know!

It's roughly comparable to CT, I think. I am not really sure. That amount of land in CT is way more expensive and valuable than in Vermont. I think I paid like 52k for it, cash. The guy I pay to handle my bills deals with paying the taxes on it.

It's literally a patch of woods I go camping on occasionally. No buildings or anything, just a small offroad trail to where I like to camp.

I have plans to do something with it eventually, but not for right now.

That is the same dream we have, awesome To hear it’s doable. That must be so nice to have that little sanctuary to go to whenever 🏕️ Do you have any advice on how to find out about the zoning laws and permitted types of buildings you could build on your land?

Call the town hall. Talk to the zoning and permitting people. You can do this before buying. Most of them are more than happy to discuss it with you. Makes their job easy when people try to follow building codes and zoning laws.
