A graduated structure (3.35%-8.75% top marginal) applies in Ludlow as statewide -- see this project's Vermont state record for the full bracket disclosure.
Ludlow's property tax runs below the statewide median, with a disclosed assessed-value gap
Ownwell cites Ludlow's effective property tax rate at 1.59% -- below Vermont's own ~1.92% statewide median comparison figure -- though the underlying $329,800 assessed home value runs notably below Ludlow's real, substantially higher market-sale prices (base record).
A real, disclosed flood-insurance consideration
Given Ludlow's real, severe July 2023 flood history, this record flags that Vermont's genuinely low statewide general-homeowners-insurance average may be a LESS reliable proxy here, since standard policies typically exclude flood-specific damage requiring separate NFIP or private flood coverage (base record).
Confirm current, address-specific coverage directly
Given Ludlow's real, recent flood history, confirm current, address-specific homeowners AND flood-specific insurance quotes directly with a carrier before relying on Vermont's general statewide range.
