H 127 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to deed restrictions and renewable energy devices

H 127 requires homeowners associations (HOAs) to remove any deed restrictions that block the installation of renewable energy devices (like solar panels), as these restrictions conflict with Vermont law (27 V.S.A. § 544). The bill directly affects HOAs and property owners who want to install such devices without facing restrictive covenants. It mandates that HOAs update their governing documents to align with state law, ensuring property owners can pursue renewable energy options without undue barriers. The bill is procedural, focusing on removing outdated restrictions rather than creating new regulations.
