What stands out about how Victory is run

Read from the town’s budget and official records.

The school district

Northeast Kingdom Choice School District

Victory’s elementary school district, shared with Bloomfield, Brunswick, East Haven, Granby, Guildhall and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Victory collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

An estimate

Victory didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.With the enterprises, the whole budget was $88,000.

Can I afford it? →

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
