Learn moreHardwick's property tax runs dramatically above Vermont's statewide anchor
Ownwell cites Hardwick's own effective property tax rate at 3.38% (median annual bill $4,252) -- more than double Vermont's own 1.51% statewide Tax Foundation-anchored figure, itself already the 4th-highest in the nation (base record).
A real, disclosed county-labeling discrepancy
Ownwell's own page for this figure was URL-labeled 'Lamoille County,' though other sources describe Hardwick as a Caledonia County town -- a real, disclosed, unresolved discrepancy this record flags rather than silently correcting (base record).
Vermont's real, graduated income tax applies statewide
A five-bracket structure topping out at 8.75% applies in Hardwick as statewide, among the higher top marginal rates in the country (base record).
Homeowners insurance follows Vermont's favorable statewide picture
No Hardwick-specific figure was confirmed this pass; this record cites Vermont's own statewide range of approximately $1,054-$1,170/year -- though standard policies typically exclude flood-specific damage, a real nuance given Hardwick's own documented flood history (base record).
Key takeaways
- Hardwick's 3.38% property tax rate runs more than double Vermont's own statewide anchor.
- A real, disclosed county-labeling discrepancy exists in the underlying Ownwell citation.
- Vermont's graduated income tax (top 8.75%) applies statewide.
