Land Records

In Vermont, land records are recorded in the town where the property is located. Recorded documents are public record and may be searched at the Town Clerk’s Office. Although the town office is, for the most part, open for business despite the lingering pandemic, we are still limiting land records research to one researcher at a time. Appointments are not required.

Recording fees are $15.00 per page.
Flat rate for the Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, $15.00.
Recording of plat mylars: $25.00 per sheet.
Research time is charged at $4.00/hour.
Copies of land records are $1.00/page.
Certified copies of records are $10.00/page.

East Montpelier Land Records are now available online back to 1988: EM Land Records

Kenzie, East Montpelier’s #1 dog for 2022!

The 2022-23 #1 Dog is an eight-year old Havanese named Kenzie who lives with his keeper, Sue, on Horn of the Moon Road.

All dogs that license on time (between January 1 and April 1) each year are entered into the random drawing for #1 dog.
