S 299 Vermont Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to posting of land

S.299 amends Vermont law to change how landowners post restrictions on hunting and fishing. It reduces the requirement for landowners to update their posted notices from annually to once every five years, while maintaining the need to record these postings with the town clerk every five years (for a $5 fee). The bill also requires sellers to disclose at the time of property transfer whether the land is posted under these rules. This directly affects landowners who restrict access, sellers, and buyers in real estate transactions. The changes take effect July 1, 2026.
