Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development

Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) — Permit Assistance

The Vermont ANR has three departments — the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation — to assist Vermonters in “protecting and improving the health of Vermont’s people and ecosystems and promoting the sustainable use of Vermont’s natural resources,” according to its website. It is through the DEC that businesses can receive assistance with all planning and zoning concerns, such as the Act 250 permit process.

The DEC’s Environmental Permit Information Summary page online is a useful and comprehensive business resource.

Another useful tool is the free informational brochure called, “Do You Need a State Permit” that is available on the DEC’s Permit Assistance page online.

The Vermont Department of Economic Development also has a helpful page online for streamlining state permits and regulations.
