An act relating to municipal authority to compel the cleaning or repair of premises

This bill authorizes Vermont towns, cities, and villages to adopt ordinances requiring property owners to clean or repair vacant, blighted, or hazardous premises that threaten public health, safety, or neighborhood appearance. Municipalities must establish rules with proper notice to owners and an administrative appeals process before taking action. If owners fail to comply, the municipality can clean or repair the property and recover costs as a lien on the property - treated like unpaid property taxes. The law applies to properties deemed dangerous, damaging to nearby property, or deteriorating public appearance, with specific procedural safeguards for property owners.
