Remote HOA Management in Vermont
Serving Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier
APM delivers professional HOA and condo management to Vermont boards entirely online — software, financials, and board support for communities in Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier, and beyond.
HOA and condominium boards in Vermont — whether in Burlington, South Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier or smaller communities across the state — face the same core challenges: keeping financials accurate and transparent, enforcing community standards consistently, managing vendors accountably, and running compliant board meetings. Remote management through APM means your board gets professional support for all of these functions without the cost and overhead of a traditional local management company.
APM's remote management platform, HOA Alchemy, is the operating layer of your community. Board members get a live dashboard showing bank balances, reserve fund status, open violations, vendor work orders, and meeting history — updated in real time. Homeowners pay dues online, submit requests through the portal, and receive notices digitally. The whole community runs more efficiently, and your board spends less time on administrative overhead.
Vermont community associations are governed by Vermont Common Interest Ownership Act (27A V.S.A.) and Condominium Ownership Act. Compliance with state law matters — incorrect election procedures, missing annual disclosures, or improperly documented enforcement actions expose boards to homeowner challenges and legal liability. APM's remote management team provides compliance guidance and documentation support to keep your Vermont association running correctly, even without an in-state office.
Vermont HOA & Condo Law Changes 2021–2025
Vermont has passed significant HOA and condominium law updates in recent legislative sessions. Here is a bill-by-bill summary of what changed — and what your board must do to stay compliant.
2021 Legislative Session
Amended Vermont's Common Interest Ownership Act (27A V.S.A.) to permanently authorize electronic meeting participation and electronic voting for community associations. Board meetings and unit owner meetings may be conducted by video conference with remote participation counting toward quorum. Electronic voting is authorized for elections and governing document amendments with adoption of a written policy.
Extended Vermont's existing solar energy rights to apply expressly to common interest communities, prohibiting any CC&R, bylaw, or rule that restricts the installation of solar energy systems or other renewable energy equipment. Associations may impose reasonable aesthetic guidelines but may not require placement that reduces system output by more than 10%.
2023 Legislative Session
Required Vermont common interest community associations with more than 10 units to conduct a reserve study within 3 years of the act's effective date and update the study every 5 years. The study must be performed by a qualified professional and must project reserve needs over a 20-year period. Annual reserve fund status must be disclosed to all members.
Prohibited Vermont common interest community associations from adopting or enforcing restrictions that prohibit the installation of EV charging equipment or home battery storage systems. Given Vermont's climate goals and statewide electrification mandates, the Legislature included strong anti-restriction language to prevent HOAs from becoming barriers to energy transition.
2025 Legislative Session
Strengthened pre-lien notice requirements for Vermont common interest community associations, requiring a 45-day cure notice by certified mail before recording an assessment lien. Also requires associations to offer a written payment plan to any owner who requests one before initiating lien enforcement.
Expanded Vermont unit owner rights to inspect and copy association records, including financial statements, contracts, and board minutes, within 10 business days of a written request. Boards may charge reasonable copying fees. Courts may award attorney fees to members who must sue to enforce record access rights.
