Vermont Contractor License Lookup
Checked 2026-11-13.
Vermont's Office of Professional Regulation publishes a find-a-professional search. Title 26, chapter 106, says a person shall register with that office before contracting to perform residential construction for consideration of more than $10,000, including labor and materials. The statute defines residential construction to include building, demolishing, or altering a residential dwelling unit, and it lists exemptions in the next section. Those words are the statute's. Read the current chapter.
Search the registration, then ask the town about the permit.
Verify this with the board or the city before you hire. Rules change, and a city or county can require its own license on top of a state record. This is general information, not legal advice.
