Lyndon property tax: where it goes

A Lyndon house pays 1.251% of its taxable value in property tax. For a house at $276,800 of market value, that's about $3,464 a year.

Tax is levied on assessed value set by the Jefferson County PVA at fair market value as of January 1, less any exemptions, taxed per $100 of value.

State rate (10.3 cents) is the 2026 rate. Metro's general rate (11.64 cents) is the rate Metro Council passed in September 2026. The school board's 2026-27 rate had not been posted by the Jefferson County PVA or Sheriff when we checked, so the school part uses the 2025 rate of 71.7 cents per $100. The city's 13-cent rate is the one its audited financial report gives for the year ended June 30, 2025 and the fire rate is from the 2025 PVA schedule; no 2026 city or fire district rate was posted.
