  3. VERMONT PUBLIC RECORDS LAW

    Under Vermont's Public Records Act, 1 V.S.A. §§ 315-320, any person has the right to request inspection or copying of a public record from government agencies, including municipalities. 

    Documents in the possession of public officials for municipal business are classified as public records and are available to the public unless excluded under the Public Records Act. 

    Applicants are discouraged from submitting information considered proprietary, trade secrets, or confidential.

    Please note, some information in a public record may be redacted, narrowed, or denied in accordance with State law if it could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy (e.g. email address, phone number).
