An act relating to the posting of land against hunting or fishing

Maddy summaryThis bill allows landowners in Vermont to legally prohibit hunting and fishing on their property by using visible purple paint markings on trees or posts near property boundaries. The paint must be a specific size and height, and landowners must also record the posting with their town clerk's office when the markings are first applied. Unlike traditional signs that require annual updates and recording, the paint marking option only needs initial registration with the town, though the owner must still maintain the markings visibly. The law also requires that any permission-only signs include the owner's contact information and be dated each year. These changes take effect on July 1, 2023, and apply to owners or those with exclusive rights to take game on private land or waters.
