Recording Process

Documents can be dropped off at the Clerk's Office, Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., or mailed to the Town of Milton, P.O. Box 18, Milton, VT 05468. Documents are assigned a book and page number, stamped, scanned, and then indexed in our software program. The process takes about a week or two, and then the originals are mailed back. Return envelopes are very helpful but not required.

Even if no money is exchanged, all documents conveying property must accompany Vermont Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172. Contact the Vermont Tax Department for information on this form at 802-828-2542.
