Addison County at a glance: towns and land
On the map, Middlebury anchors the county as its seat, with Vergennes, Addison, Bridport, and Bristol spread around it. Crossroads communities such as East Middlebury, Lincoln, and New Haven have their own small clusters of lots. Organized in 1785, and named for Joseph Addison, Addison County has a long paper trail, and early deeds may cite landmarks that no longer exist. For scale: roughly 766 square miles of land and an estimated 37,720 residents as of 2023, per the Census Bureau. Expect suburban-style lots near Bristol and plenty of rural ground once the subdivisions thin out. Water features such as the Otter Creek shape where lots fall and where floodplain sits. Public ground such as Green Mountain National Forest appears as large unbroken blocks, and the private parcels around it draw hunters and recreation buyers.

Are the Addison County property lines accurate?
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Bridport ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. Expect irregular shapes around Bristol. Vermont deeds trace boundaries by bearing and distance, often from one old marker to the next. If a neighbor's fence near Bridport and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Using the Addison County GIS map to find vacant land
Five steps for vacant land in Addison County:
- Follow the roads out of Cornwall with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- Check who owns each open tract near Ferrisburgh and where the tax bill goes.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Ferrisburgh to sanity-check an asking price.
- Make sure the parcel near Bridport actually touches a public road, and ask how it's reached if it doesn't.
- For a tract near Cornwall, confirm zoning, septic suitability and flood status before you make an offer.
Where Addison County deeds and plats are kept
For land near Cornwall, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Names differ across states, so confirm on the official Addison County site which office records deeds and plats. If you need a plat for a lot in Vergennes, look for the plat book and page or the subdivision name in the parcel record, then request that document from the recording office.
