By Mail

Mail your check or money order and payment stub to Town of Sharon, PO Box 250, Sharon, VT 05065. If you include a self-addressed stamped envelope, we will return your payment stub. Payments must have a USPS postmark on or before the tax due date to prove they are on time.

You can submit a form to us two weeks BEFORE the tax due date to have your payment taken from your designated bank account on future tax due dates. This form with detailed information can be found on the back side of this page or online at sharonvt.net.

The Town of Sharon offers several options for making tax payments, and we hope one will work well for you.

Property taxes are paid in two installments in the Town of Sharon.

For the fiscal year beginning July 1st, 2025 and ending June 30th, 2026, the first payment of real and property taxes is due by 6:00 PM on or before Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

The second payment is due by 6:00PM on or before Wednesday, February 11, 2026.

A Few Special Notes:

    • All Payments Should Include Your Parcel ID# (not the SPAN #).
    • Please check your bill to make sure you have the correct status of homestead vs. non-homestead and if you received your expected State Payment credit per the letter you received from the VT Dept of Taxes.
    • FY2026:  Tax payments not made by 2/11/26 at 6pm will be subject to an 8% penalty – the Town voted to go back to the 8% penalty this year rather than the graduated penalty allowed last year.  Taxes paid late for the Sept. 17, 2025 and/or the Feb. 11, 2026 due dates will be charged 1% interest per month until paid in full.

    For tax payment information, please call Lucy Pierpont, Finance Manager, at 802-763-8268 ext. 8 or Deb Jones, Treasurer, at ext.3.

    Alternatively, you may email Lucy at financemgr@sharonvt.net or Deb at treasurer@sharonvt.net.

    Please be aware that you will only receive one bill in mid-August with payment stubs for both the September and February payments and that your tax bill is mailed to your address, not to your mortgage lender’s address. If you have purchased after April 1, 2025, your bill will be sent to the prior owner. Please contact the Town for a copy of the bill.
