An act relating to municipal ordinances governing nuisance properties containing salvage and scrap

This bill allows Vermont municipalities to treat properties with accumulated junk, scrap, abandoned vehicles, or rubbish as public nuisances. Towns can create local rules requiring owners to clean such properties within 90 days or face fines, with unpaid fines becoming property liens collected like taxes. It specifically targets unlicensed salvage operations and sites violating nuisance standards, while ensuring local rules align with state law. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
