Ferrisburgh Property Tax Maps
Ferrisburgh’s property tax maps show the boundaries and layout of all land parcels in the town. Each parcel is labeled with a unique identification number and is used by the town to track ownership and assess property taxes. The maps are organized by sections and include roads and natural features to help locate individual properties. Please see left navigation bar for the specific years.

🗺️ How to read a Ferrisburgh Tax Map

  1. Map sheet number
    • The town is divided into multiple map sheets (like pages in an atlas).
    • Each sheet covers a section of Ferrisburgh.
  2. Parcel boundaries
    • Each property is outlined with lines.
    • These shapes show the exact lot boundaries used for taxation.
  3. Parcel ID (SPAN or map/lot number)
    • Inside or next to each parcel is a number (e.g., “12-03-45”).
    • This is the unique ID used by the town to track the property.
  4. Roads & landmarks
    • Roads, rivers, and sometimes buildings are shown for reference.
    • These help you visually locate the parcel.
  5. Scale & orientation
    • A scale (e.g., 1 inch = 200 feet) tells you distance.
    • North arrow shows direction.

🔎 How to find a specific property

Option 1: If you know the address

  1. Look up the property in the town’s Grand List or Property Card Index database.
  2. Find its parcel ID (map/lot number).
  3. Go to the corresponding map sheet.
  4. Scan for that parcel number.

Option 2: If you only know the general area

  1. Start with the index map (overview of all map sheets).
  2. Identify the section of town (near a road, lake, etc.).
  3. Open that specific sheet.
  4. Visually match roads and nearby features to locate the parcel.

Option 3: Using online tools (if available)

Some Vermont towns provide GIS viewers where you can:

Tips

  • Parcel shapes are not always perfect—older maps may be approximate.
  • Use nearby roads/intersections as your main reference points.
  • If numbers are hard to read, zooming into a digital version helps a lot.
