Planning Your Town’s Future
Vermont's distinctive sense of place is tied to its primary land use planning goal: to plan development so as to maintain the historic settlement pattern of compact village and urban centers separated by rural countryside. Through collaboration with our partners the Department works to further these land use goals by developing programs that provide communities with needed tools and resources. Below are some of the programs and guidance that can help communities integrate land use planning with energy, housing, economic development and transportation options.
Charitable Housing Investment Tax Credit
The Charitable Housing Investment Tax Credit (“HITC”) is an opportunity to support affordable housing in Vermont and reduce your Vermont income taxes.
Mobile Home Residents
Visit our homeowner resource page for information about financing, down payment assistance, and mobile home repair loans and services.
Mobile Home Parks
Mobile home parks provide an important source of affordable housing for about 7,000 Vermont households. Vermont law defines a mobile home park as any property with three or more mobile homes or mobile home lots. The Department has authority to enforce the State mobile home park act and administers rules for mobile home park leases, lot rent increases, sale or closure of mobile home parks, and habitability standards, and conducts an annual registration of Vermont mobile home parks. The Department serves as a resource on mobile and manufactured homes and park issues.
