East Montpelier has zoning, subdivision, sign, and flood hazard regulations (see: Planning & Zoning Documents). The town does not, however, have a building code, although local projects fall under the state building codes for many categories of development. No development is allowed until all applicable town land use permits and approvals have been issued, unless the development is specifically exempted from permit requirements under Section 7.2 of the East Montpelier Land Use & Development Regulations. The town also requires Selectboard-issued access permits for curb-cuts on town roads and any work in the town’s road rights-of-way. In addition, the Town Administrator issues excess weight permits for overweight truck use of town highways.
The state regulates land development in many ways. For any project, even after applying for and receiving the relevant town permits/approvals, an applicant/permittee retains the obligation to identify, apply for, and obtain relevant state permits. Call (802) 477-2241 to speak to the state Permit Specialist for our district before beginning any project.

The VT Agency of Natural Resources/Department of Environmental Conservation has created a online “permit navigator” to help answer state environmental permit questions. You can access the permit navigator here:
You can get a wealth of information on state permit expectations, especially for small businesses, from the VT Department of Environmental Conservation’s Online Permit Handbook, which is a compilation of fact sheets full of information on a variety of permits. You can find the handbook here:
Further, the State of Vermont has residential and commercial energy codes that apply to all new construction, including additions, alterations, and repairs. For more information please contact the Vermont Energy Code Assistance Center at (855) 887-0673. The Vermont Department of Public Service maintains web pages for both the residential and commercial energy codes:
