Reply to comment by BoringAccountName78 in How does the governmental structure and services work if you have an incorporated village within a town, like Bellows Falls in Rockingham? by BoringAccountName78

Yes, but those taxes are going towards additional services you wouldn’t get if you lived in rural Rockingham, like a full time police department or a water/sewer department. On the other hand, property values are probably higher outside of the villages because the houses are bigger and have more land.

Thanks. You've been very helpful.

In Massachusetts, we have "villages" but they're never incorporated so they're always part of the town they're in. That's why I found VT a little confusing.
