How to find the information

Property-tax records are local. The example below covers Shaftsbury only. For a different municipality in Bennington County, use the Office website link to the state municipal directory, identify the city/town where the parcel lies, and ask its clerk or treasurer for the responsible delinquent-tax collector.

For Shaftsbury property, use the dedicated Delinquent Tax Collector page. It publishes the collector’s direct contact and separate instructions for delinquent payments, and explains that the office maintains delinquent accounts for annual reporting.

Request an existing delinquent real-property report, year-by-year account history or current payoff, giving the municipality, parcel/account identifier if known, tax years, desired as-of date and preferred inspection or electronic-copy format. Ask which existing record is available and obtain an estimate for copies, extracts or certification before ordering. Published office email: hollybahan@shaftsburyvt.gov.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Bennington County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.

County-specific notes

The page separately links payment-plan agreements. An agreement form is not a public records search or a countywide taxpayer list. Ask for the existing delinquent real-property report or account history, including its as-of date, rather than assuming an annual town report shows present liability. Shaftsbury’s collector covers Shaftsbury only. Office website: January 2026 state municipal directory. Choose local contacts rather than the separate county-clerk list. Source review verifies access guidance, not taxpayer liability. No taxpayer query, payment, registration or records-request submission was made; no owner-level rows are republished.
