Vermont Mobile Home Sales Tax Reimbursement Program

Jun 15, 2012 | Susan McLain

Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin “…announced additional tax relief to help flood survivors who replaced mobile homes damaged or destroyed in either federally declared disasters that occurred in 2011, the spring flooding and Tropical Storm Irene.”

A provision in Act 143 of 2012 “…makes purchases of these mobile homes tax-free for Vermont residents.”

In an earlier blog, we provided you with the form to fill out if you qualify for the sales and use or property transfer tax. In this recent announcement, the state’s Irene Recover Officer, Sue Minter, says, “We are continuing our effort to support individuals and families still recovering from Irene, and there remains a long road to full recovery for many Vermonters.”

Jennifer Hollar, Deputy Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Economic, Housing and community Development had this to say, “The beauty of this program is that the funds go right back to Vermonters to help them rebuild their homes and lives.”

Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson said, “The Department of Taxes stands ready to help eligible Vermonters to take advantage of this important program. We urge Vermont residents who replaced their mobile home due to flooding to apply for a tax reimbursement.”

The Department of Taxes has setup dedicated resources to assist those who qualify:
