Town of Killington

What Town of Killington does

The Town of Killington is a municipal government entity headquartered at 2046 U.S. Route 4 in Killington, Vermont (Rutland County), operating continuously since its founding in 1761. It delivers the full spectrum of municipal services to a base of year-round residents, seasonal property owners, and the large visitor population drawn by Killington Resort—the largest ski area in the Eastern United States, with 1,509 skiable acres and 155 trails across six peaks. Core service lines include public safety (Killington Police, Fire and Rescue, Search & Rescue), public works (highway, solid waste transfer, water, sewer), planning and zoning, tax collection, town clerk and treasurer functions, parks and recreation, the Sherburne Memorial Library, and the Green Mountain National Golf Course (voted #1 public golf course in Vermont).

Revenue mechanics are those of a municipal government: property taxes, water and sewer fees, permits, intergovernmental grants, and enterprise revenue from the town-owned golf course. Service delivery occurs through in-person walk-in at the consolidated Post Office Building (operating 9:00am–4:00pm Monday–Friday), online payment portals powered by a third-party processor (municipay.com) for taxes and sewer bills, and a public-meeting infrastructure that combines in-person and Zoom access for Selectboard, Planning Commission, Development Review Board, and other bodies. The town manages a portfolio of digital sub-services including the Killington Forward Initiative action plan, a town calendar and meeting portal, and the Green Mountain National Golf Course, alongside a regulatory partnership with the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation on PFAS well testing.

Governance is provided by an elected Selectboard with multiple appointed boards and commissions. The town is structured around a horizontal segmentation approach serving three primary constituencies: town residents, visitors and tourists, and property owners and local businesses. Marketing and constituent communication rely on the official website, email updates, and public meetings. Strategic priorities articulated publicly include the Killington Forward Initiative for economic and infrastructure growth, a 2026 town-wide reappraisal, a water system feasibility study, and a newly implemented short-term rental registration program.
