Learn moreJohnson's property tax runs above Vermont's statewide anchor
Johnson's own cited average annual bill ($4,385, an approximately 2.36% assessed-value-based rate) runs above both Vermont's own 1.51% statewide anchor and Lamoille County's own 1.63% Ownwell-cited median rate (base record).
A real, disclosed, unreconciled source-data tension
Johnson's $4,385 average bill was described by one source as '19% lower than the Lamoille County average,' yet Ownwell's own separately-cited county median bill ran only $3,764 -- lower, not higher, than Johnson's figure. This record names this contradiction honestly rather than resolving it artificially (base record).
Vermont's real, graduated income tax applies statewide
A five-bracket structure topping out at 8.75% applies in Johnson as statewide, among the higher top marginal rates in the country (base record).
Homeowners insurance follows Vermont's favorable statewide picture
No Johnson-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 damage, relevant given Johnson's own documented flood history (base record).
Key takeaways
- Johnson's property tax rate runs above Vermont's own statewide anchor.
- A real, disclosed, unreconciled contradiction exists in the underlying property-tax source data.
- Vermont's graduated income tax (top 8.75%) applies statewide.
- Homeowners insurance runs favorably statewide, but standard policies exclude flood damage -- relevant given Johnson's flood history.
