Vermont Building Permits
State permits commercial; towns permit residential.
How Building Permits Work in Vermont
The state role is divided by project type. The State Division of Fire Safety directly handles all permitting and inspections for "public buildings" (including most commercial sites), while permitting for single-family residential homes is left entirely to the discretion of local towns.
