The purpose of these sheets are to provide additional information about the requirements of the safety codes, standards and the laws adopted in Vermont. While the Division relies on a consistent set of standards and adopts national codes, there are many classifications and topics within these codes. There are also many unique building situations in Vermont .
To ensure these sheets remain up to date as well as a valuable resource. We are constantly reviewing and updating the information on these sheets.
