In Vermont, the importance of filing the correct documentation regarding one’s living situation can't be overstated, especially when it comes to the Homestead Declaration. The Vermont HS-132 form plays a crucial role for residents who need to communicate changes about their homestead status to the Vermont Department of Taxes. Specifically designed for instances where a property previously declared as a homestead is no longer eligible or the situation has changed—including the sale of the property, a change in its use away from being a homestead, ownership transition due to the homeowner's death, or an initial declaration made in error—this form facilitates a necessary update in the state's records. Required information includes homeowner's personal details, location and description of the property, and the specific reason for the withdrawal. Additionally, it outlines the detailed steps involved in withdrawing a Homestead Declaration, ensuring the property is accurately recorded and taxed in alignment with its current status. The process also involves prompt notification in certain scenarios, such as the sale of a property, where specific timelines are imposed. Accuracy and timeliness in filing this form can help avoid potential complications, ensuring that homeowners comply with Vermont's property tax laws and regulations.

REASON FOR WITHDRAWING DECLARATION
Check the box for the applicable situation to withdraw the Homestead Declaration.
(1)Property Sold Notification to the VT Department of Taxes that a property has been sold is required within thirty (30) days of the closing date. If the sale is after April 1, the property continues to be classified as a homestead until the following April 1. If the new owner uses the property as his or her principal homestead, he or she must file a Homestead Declaration in order to make a property tax adjustment claim. Sale of property includes conveyance of the property to a trust or creation of a life estate. A person who transferred his or her homestead to a revocable trust and who is the sole beneficiary files a Homestead Declaration by the following April 15 and checks Box 4a. If the life estate owner occupies the property as a homestead, the life estate holder must record
the life estate deed in the town offices and file a Homestead Declaration by the following April 15 checking Box 4b.
See 32 V.S.A. §§5401(7)(D) and 6062(e) for more information on homesteads owned by a trust or estate.
(2)Property No Longer A Homestead When the property is no longer used as a homestead, the Homestead Declaration must be withdrawn. Example: You filed a homestead declaration April 15 but move on September 1 of the same year and now rent the house.
(3)Property Owned By Estate Estates may be classified as homestead property up to the April 1 following the date of the homeowner's death provided the property is not rented during that time. The Homestead Declaration must be withdrawn after that year. Example: Property was the principal residence of a homeowner who died in 2011. The estate now owns the property. The property may remain classified as a homestead and be taxed at the homestead education property tax rate until April 2012 provided the property is not rented.
