2024 VT Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Peter Duval: Let property taxes go up into nether regions of income

Duval: I think there there's an issue with having the cliff for that income sensitivity, that people that are very wealthy are paying on the property value and maybe amplify the message about property taxes being high so I would look at eliminating that cap on the income sensitivity and let it go up into the nether regions of income. I would say just eliminate the cap for residents and property owners and allow differential property tax rate for nonresidential property like second homes.
