This tool was created by Building Burlington’s Future (BBF) to help you understand how Burlington’s proposed municipal tax rate change could affect your property taxes. It uses data from the City’s public Grand List to give a clear, easy-to-read estimate of how your bill might change.
Start by typing your address in the search bar — the tool will automatically match it to the closest record in the City’s database. Then, choose the option that best describes the property:
Owner lives here – for homes lived in by the owner (includes a $30,000 homeowner exemption)
Rental / Business / Second home – for properties not occupied by the owner (no exemption)
Once selected, the calculator will instantly show whether your annual municipal taxes are likely to go up (red) or down (green) under the new proposal, and by how much in dollars and percentage.
This is an estimate meant to help residents understand the potential impact of the proposal — it is not an official tax bill. Actual tax amounts will depend on your property’s assessed value and any City adjustments made before the final rate is set.
