How to bid on the Town of Wardsboro's town-wide reappraisal RFP
What the Town of Wardsboro is buying
The Town of Wardsboro, Vermont, is seeking a professional appraisal firm to conduct a comprehensive town-wide reappraisal. This project involves 1,008 taxable parcels. The selected firm will also handle grievance hearings, Board of Civil Authority hearings, and potential appeals to the State Appraiser or Superior Court. This is a significant opportunity for appraisal firms to secure a public sector contract.

Proposals for this reappraisal project were published on September 3, 2026. All proposals must be received by 5:00 PM ET on September 22, 2026. It is crucial to submit your proposal before this deadline, as late submissions are typically not considered.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is ideal for professional appraisal firms with experience in town-wide reappraisals and a strong understanding of the associated legal processes, including grievance hearings and appeals. Firms should be comfortable working with a municipality and potentially transitioning software if their system differs from the town's current ProVal Appraisal Software.
