A developer named Marcus plans to build a 2-acre retail shopping center on land located outside any Vermont municipality. Before breaking ground, his real estate licensee advises him that he will likely need a specific state-level land use permit. Which Vermont law requires this permit?

Correct Answer

D) Vermont Act 250, 10 V.S.A. Chapter 151

Vermont Act 250 (10 V.S.A. Chapter 151) requires a land use permit for commercial developments exceeding 1 acre outside municipalities. Because Marcus's retail project is 2 acres and located outside a municipality, it clearly meets the Act 250 threshold, and a permit must be obtained before construction begins.

Answer Options
A
Vermont Property Transfer Tax Act, 32 V.S.A. Chapter 231
B
Vermont Residential Real Estate Disclosure Act, 27 V.S.A. § 1154
C
Vermont Land Gains Tax Act, 32 V.S.A. Chapter 236
D
Vermont Act 250, 10 V.S.A. Chapter 151
