Guildhall Zoning Board

The Zoning Administrator is responsible for implementing the Town Plan and the related zoning bylaws and procedures, including the issuance of building permits and sub-division approvals.

The Zoning Board meets whenever there is a need to review conditional use applications, hear and act on appeals of administrative officer decisions, and act on requests for variances.

To get on the Zoning Board agenda, contact the Zoning Board Administrator using the form on the right.

Key Zoning Reminders

• Buildings larger than 4 feet x 6 feet or 24 square feet require a zoning permit.
• Currently, permits are not required for outdoor furnaces.  Should questions surface regarding specific rules, regulations and enforcement, contact the State of Vermont.  However, if a building is constructed to house the furnace larger than 4 feet X 6 feet, a permit is required for that structure.
• All land development which includes sub-divisions requires a zoning permit.
• An agriculture permit only requires a communication notice based on the Department of Agriculture and Town Bylaws.

Once a Zoning Permit is approved, all activation authorized by its issuance shall not commence prior to 15 days from the date of approval in the event that a notice of appeal is properly filed. If an appeal is filed, then such permit shall not take effect until the final appeal is completed.

Please refer to the Guildhall Zoning Bylaws and Town Plan for further information.  Feel free to call the Zoning Administrator with questions. Your compliance and questions are appreciated.
