The Department of Fish and Wildlife provides clear information on their website about the various ways to post your land. Putting up posted signs conveys a message to ask first or keep out. For extra assurance, you can choose to register your posted land. Often referred to 'legally posted,' it means hunting, fishing and/or trapping is prohibited without written permission. The Middlesex Town Clerk assists residents with Registered Posted Property. The landowner must maintain signs that:

• • Prohibit hunting, fishing or trapping
  • Prohibit any combination of the three
  • State all or any combination of the three are allowed by Permission Only

The State of Vermont, through the Department of Liquor and Lottery (DLL), licenses all establishments that sell or serve alcohol, including beer and wine. Before a Middlesex business can be licensed by the State, its application must be reviewed and approved locally — in Vermont, the Select Board serves as the town’s local liquor control commission. Liquor licenses of all classes, and their annual renewals, are submitted through the Town Clerk’s Office.

How to apply or renew
File the application or renewal through the Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery online portal.

The Middlesex Select Board must approve the application at a warned public meeting before it goes to the State. Submit your application and payment in time for an upcoming Selectboard meeting.

Any local fee is paid to the Town of Middlesex; State fees are paid directly through the DLL portal.

Once the Select Board approves the application, the Town Clerk approves it in the DLL portal so it can move on to the State. Catering permits must reach the DLL at least five business days before the event.

For questions about a Middlesex application, contact the Town Clerk’s Office; for State licensing questions, contact the Department of Liquor and Lottery.
