Vermont's 2026 income tax runs a graduated five-bracket structure (3.35%-8.75% top marginal) -- applying in Springfield as statewide.
A notably low cited property tax rate, explained
Ownwell cited Springfield's median effective property tax rate at approximately 0.80% (annual bill ~$1,147) -- notably below Vermont's statewide figures, most plausibly tied to the state's Common Level of Appraisal system rather than an unusually light tax burden in absolute terms.
A data-labeling caveat worth knowing
Ownwell's site separately lists a distinct "Springfield, Windham County" tax page (2.73%) that does NOT describe this real Springfield, VT (confirmed Windsor County) -- this record uses the correct Windsor County figures.
