Caledonia County delinquent tax list
Short answer: Caledonia County has two delinquent tax lists. The official one is published by each town or city municipal tax collector before a scheduled sale, free to download, and it lists parcel numbers and amounts owed with no owner contact. The year-round one is the delinquency record underneath it, where 146 (estimated) owners near Caledonia County currently carry a distress signal. Vermont is a redeemable deed state, so a winning bid at the sale takes a deed the owner can still buy back.

The mechanics that decide what you are actually buying, and how long the owner keeps a way out. The full Vermont rules, timelines and deficiency detail sit on the state page, since they apply to every county here.
| County | Caledonia County, Vermont. |
|---|---|
| Who publishes the list | Tax enforcement in Vermont is run by each town or city rather than the county, so the delinquent roll for a Caledonia County property comes from that municipality's Municipal Tax Collector. |
| What the sale transfers | Vermont is a redeemable deed state. A winning bidder gets a redeemable deed, which is ownership subject to the former owner buying it back inside the redemption window. |
| Rate and cadence | Municipal tax sales carry a 1 year redemption at 12%. |
| Foreclosure path | Judicial, typically 7 to 12 months from filing to sale. |

How Caledonia compares across Vermont
Caledonia County is the 9th largest of the 14 Vermont counties covered here, and it runs denser in distressed owners than the Vermont average, at 47.8 flagged properties per 10,000 residents against a state figure of 46.5. It accounts for about 4.9% of every flagged property across the Vermont counties on this site.
| County | Seat | Flagged owners | Per 10k residents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chittenden County | Burlington | 844 | 49.9 |
| Washington County | Montpelier | 297 | 50.3 |
| Franklin County | Franklin County | 238 | 46.6 |
| Windsor County | Windsor County | 223 | 38.7 |
| Addison County | Addison County | 213 | 56 |
| Rutland County | Rutland | 204 | 34 |
Density matters more than the raw count when you are choosing where to work. A smaller county with a high per-capita figure often has less competition per lead than the metro next door.

| When it exists | Only in the run-up to each scheduled sale | Year round, refreshed daily |
| Format | A PDF or spreadsheet of parcel numbers and amounts owed | A ranked table with a map pin, photo and estimated value on every row |
| Owner contact | Not included | Phone and email on unlock, and no credit is spent when nothing verifies |

| Timing advantage | Everyone bidding sees the same list on the same day | Owners appear months before any auction, while a private sale still solves their problem |
Working the Caledonia list
What actually matters in a county this size, at this level of distress, under Vermont timelines.
Off the main road
Caledonia County ranks 9 of 14 covered Vermont counties and holds about 4.9% of the state's flagged properties. Most buyers never scroll this far down the state, which is the entire argument for working it.
Above the state norm
Caledonia runs 47.8 flagged properties per 10,000 residents against 46.5 statewide. More pressure per capita than the typical Vermont county, and more owners carrying two or three signals at once.
All of Caledonia County
The scan centres on Caledonia County and reaches 25 miles out, widening to 50 when the list runs thin. In a county this size that usually spans several towns, each with its own price level, so read the estimated value on each row rather than the discount alone.
The Vermont clock
Foreclosure here typically runs 7 to 12 months from filing to sale. Tax enforcement is municipal in Vermont, so the tax deadline and the mortgage deadline are two separate clocks on the same house, and an owner can be early on one and late on the other.
Why Caledonia investors work it before auction day
No bidding war
At the sale you are one of a room full of bidders on the same parcel. Months earlier you are the only person who called.
You can see the house
A private sale means an inspection and a clean title search. Lien auctions in Vermont rarely give you either.
The owner keeps something
An owner with equity who sells early clears the tax debt and walks away with money. At the sale, they usually walk away with nothing.
Caledonia County delinquent tax list FAQ
How do I get the Caledonia County delinquent tax list?
Two lists exist and they are not the same. The official one comes from the town or city tax collector, is published as a PDF or spreadsheet before each scheduled sale, and disappears between sales. The year-round one is the delinquency record itself, which is what LowBaller compiles: roughly 146 properties around Caledonia County currently carry at least one distress signal, ranked by how much pressure the owner is under.
Is there a free Caledonia delinquent property tax list PDF?
Yes. The town or city tax collector publishes the pre-sale list free of charge, usually as a PDF or a downloadable spreadsheet tied to a specific sale date. It gives you parcel numbers and amounts owed. It does not give you owner contact details, an estimated value, or any indication of which owners would actually take a low cash offer.
When is the Caledonia County tax sale?
Caledonia County publishes its own schedule, and it moves. The Vermont pattern is the thing that holds steady: Municipal tax sales carry a 1 year redemption at 12%. Check the county's pre-sale notice close to the date, because the list shrinks daily as owners redeem.
Can I buy Caledonia tax-delinquent property before the auction?
Yes, and it is usually the better trade. There is no bidding war, the owner clears the debt with a clean sale instead of a forced one, and you are not buying blind. The window is the months between the delinquency appearing in the record and the sale being scheduled, which is exactly the period this list covers.
What does a winning bid actually get you in Vermont?
Vermont is a redeemable deed state, so a winning bidder takes a redeemable deed, which is ownership subject to the former owner buying it back inside the redemption window. Municipal tax sales carry a 1 year redemption at 12%. That difference matters more than the discount: in a lien state you are buying a debt with a yield, and in a deed state you are buying a house.
How far below market do Caledonia deals close?
The strongest current leads near Caledonia County support start bids around 41% under estimated value. Across the whole list, hard distress such as a scheduled auction or a stacked tax lien closes 20 to 40% under market, while softer signals like long-distance ownership land closer to 15 to 30% under. Caledonia runs denser in distress than the Vermont average, so stacked-signal owners, the ones who accept the widest discounts, turn up more often here than in a typical county in this state. Equity sets the ceiling, because an offer cannot go below what clears the owner's mortgage.
How many tax-delinquent properties are there in Caledonia?
About 146 properties within 25 miles of Caledonia County currently show at least one motivation signal in public records, and tax delinquency is among the most common. That works out to 47.8 flagged properties per 10,000 residents, against 46.5 across Vermont as a whole, and makes Caledonia the number 9 of the 14 Vermont counties covered here by population. That figure moves daily as owners pay, redeem or fall further behind.
Do I need a Caledonia address to search, or can I search the whole county?
Either. Run the scan on any Caledonia ZIP and you get the full ranked list for the surrounding area, or check one specific address to see whether that owner carries a distress signal. The scan is free; the full list opens with a 7-day trial, and credits are only spent when an owner's phone number comes back.
