Calais News & Updates

  • 3/30/26 - Town-wide Reappraisal Update: NEMRC has completed preparing the newly assessed values for Calais properties, to be mailed to property owners in April 2026. Keep an eye on your mailbox for new property value and for information on how you can a) meet with an assessor in late April to review your new value and how it was calculated and b) if necessary, appeal your new property value at a hearing to be held in May. For more information or to access the portal TO VERIFY THE DATA FROM YOUR REAPPRAISAL, see www.calaisvermont.gov/2025reappraisal. If you have questions for the reappraisers, you can reach them at 802-227-7383 or calais2026@nemrc.com.
  • 3/23/26 - Requests for copies of tax bills: You can find all Calais tax bills with the income adjustment redacted in our 2025 Redacted Tax Bills PDF (in alphabetical order by last name of property owner).
