Water, Sewer, and Property Tax Bills
COVID-19 Notice for Taxes and Utilities
Tax bills will be mailed on August 7, 2020 this year. Due to the Vermont State tax filing deadline extension to July 15th the City did not received homestead declaration information for many taxpayers until August 1st. If we had proceeded as normal, homestead declaration information may not have been included leading to confusion and potential overpayment. Act 102 signed by Governor Scott allowed municipalities to change the due date for property taxes. A delay of the first installment was approved by the Winooski City Council at their June 6th meeting. The deadlines for the 2020-21 tax bill as approved are:
- September 7, 2020
- November 15, 2020
- February 15, 2021
- May 15, 2021
