I ordered a Vermont Registration, and the taxes are too high! Why is this?
In order to issue the Vermont registration document, which will serve as your proof of ownership for your states title, the Vermont DMV calculates their sales tax amount based on the NADA book value. We always use the lowest possible book value which will be acceptable to the state.

But my car is in poor shape! This value does not reflect the current condition of my vehicle. What can I do?
In some cases, a vehicle may be in a condition which is not indicative of the book value. The state of Vermont does have a method to request that an alternate value be used, based on condition. This normally requires a professional third party appraisal to confirm the claim being made by the applicant. You can email us at [email protected] to request a Vermont Appraisal form, and submit it along with your application.
