VBRA Legislative and Government Affairs Program covers local, county, state, and federal issues, and works to protect the industry from onerous regulations that could raise the cost of housing. In coordination with the VBRA staff, the committee works hard to:

  • Monitor and review codes, ordinances and legislation which directly impact the homebuilding industry
  • Communicate with elected officials and policy makers regarding our industry issues
  • Formulate and advocate for needed changes, and
  • Educate members of the Association about current issues, new laws, regulatory and administrative matters.

The committee works closely with business groups and trade associations on state issues and has direct contact with state legislators as well as town and city officials. Although the program's primary focus is at the state and local levels, the committee monitors and provides input on federal legislation through the National Association of Home Builders as well as directly contacting our Federal officials. It is important for Vermont's future that VBRA succeed in ensuring Vermont's housing market is open to all income levels.
