A real, disclosed citation coincidence
Castleton's own cited 2.11% rate matched a separately-cited Ownwell 'Vermont state median' figure elsewhere on its site -- a real, disclosed coincidence this record flags rather than resolving with false certainty (base record).

A five-bracket structure topping out at 8.75% applies in Castleton as statewide, among the higher top marginal rates in the country (base record).
Homeowners insurance follows Vermont's favorable statewide picture
No Castleton-specific figure was confirmed this pass; this record cites Vermont's own statewide range of approximately $1,054-$1,170/year -- particularly relevant to confirm directly for any lakefront property near Lake Bomoseen (base record).
