Here is another legislative bill that was passed this year that impacts our Nulhegan tribe. This will allow our tribal lands to be exempted from all taxes. This will most likely affect our tribal lands in Barton and any we acquire probably next tax year in 2023.

Act No. 90 (H.556). Taxation; property tax; exemption; Vermont-recognized Native  American tribes An act relating to exempting property owned by Vermont-recognized Native  American tribes from property tax  This act creates a statewide education property tax and municipal property tax  exemption for real and personal property that is owned by a Vermont-recognized  Native American tribe or owned by a nonprofit organization. To be eligible for  the exemption, the nonprofit organization that owns the property must be organized for the tribe’s benefit and controlled by the tribe, and the property must be used for purposes of the tribe and cannot be leased or rented for profit. Effective Date: July 1, 2022
