Impedance spectroscopy measurements were performed in high quality Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films. This technique allows us investigate the resistive and capacitive contribution to the dielectric response near the metal-insulator transition (MIT). A non ideal RC behavior was found in our films from room temperature up to 334 K. A decrease of the total capacitance was found in this region, possibly due to interface effects. Above the MIT, the system behaves like a metal as expected, and a modified equivalent circuit is necessary to describe the impedance data adequately. Around the MIT, an increase of the total capacitance is observed.
