About Us –

The town treasurer is keeper of the town’s financial accounts. The treasurer invests town money, keeps a record of taxes voted, and pays bills when orders to do so are properly submitted. The treasurer interacts with other town officials to ensure that the town finances run smoothly and is responsible for all funds collected, allocated to and disbursed by the various departments and entities that exist within the municipality. Current tax collection, current payroll and employee benefits are also administered through this office.

The accounting firm of Sullivan and Powers audits the town financials each year. The Town of Orange is compliant with the requirements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

Property Tax Information

 Please keep in mind:

  • Mail tax payments early. Payments must be received by 4pm August 15th and November 15th to be considered timely and to avoid penalties and interest on unpaid taxes.
  • To make your payment in person, see hours above or use the mail slot to the secure drop box found at the right of the front door of the town clerk’s office.
  • For a receipt of property tax payments (via mail or drop box), enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.
  • Be sure and make an extra copy of your tax bill for your tax professional so when tax season rolls around you won’t have to pay the extra $1 fee for another copy.
  • Postmarks are not accepted as on time payment; postdated checks are not accepted and will be mailed back unprocessed regardless of the day they are received.
  • If you have questions about your homestead filing or property tax credit, please contact Vermont Taxpayer Services at (802) 828-2865
  • If your taxes are escrowed as part of your mortgage, we recommend you send a copy of this bill to your mortgage company for their records. It is your responsibility to ensure your bank has the most up-to-date tax bill.

Tax payments are due by 4:00 pm. on August 15th and November 15th. Postmarks are not accepted.

Delinquent taxes

Delinquent Taxes not paid by the due date will be charged interest at the rate of 1% per month. After the second installment, any unpaid taxes will be assessed a penalty of 8%. Interest will continue to accrue on a monthly basis until the taxes are paid in full. The penalty is only assessed once per year only after the second installment.
