Barre City Land Rush
City sells excess Vermont real estate
The City of Barre, Vermont has numerous VACANT LOTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE (some with certain restrictions) to adjacent property owners or to private developers. These lots, located throughout city neighborhoods, allow adjacent owners to increase the size of their home lot (often sub-standard under today's regulations) or may be sold to developers for new home construction. The sale of these lots releases the property from City maintenance, while returning the property to a tax generating status. The City of Barre evaluates each lot to determine the best use of the lot with preference given to residential and economic development activities. Some of these parcels are outside of Barre City but were acquired by the city at various times over the years.
Vacant lots are defined under two (2) categories, Unbuildable or Buildable:
Buildable Parcels - a lot having a minimum of 25 foot frontage on a city accepted street and a lot size of greater than 5,445 sq. ft. Click here for a listing of buildable parcels currently available for purchase*
Unbuildable Parcels - a lot not having a minimum of 25 foot frontage on a city accepted street and a lot size of less than 5,445 sq. ft. Click here for a listing of unbuildable parcels currently available for purchase*
*Other criteria may apply. Please consult with the municipal Zoning Administrator, as well as your builder, engineer or legal advisor to determine the suitability of any parcel for your intended use.
