Market Intelligence
Burlington selling costs combine Vermont PTT with Burlington-specific considerations — the Tenant Right of First Refusal ordinance on rental properties, lead paint disclosure for pre-1978 housing stock, and Burlington's tight inventory dynamics.
Tenant Right of First Refusal: Burlington Ordinance Chapter 18 requires sellers of residential rental properties to notify tenants with a 45-day right of first refusal before selling to a third party. Sellers who list without completing ROFR cannot close until the process is complete.
Vermont PTT: 1.25% above $100,000 — $5,000 on a $500,000 Burlington primary residence sale. No municipal surcharge in Burlington.
Lead Paint: Burlington's 65% pre-1978 housing stock creates lead paint disclosure requirements. Investment property sellers with identified lead hazards face $1,500-$6,000 in compliance costs.
