Public Records Fee in Vermont

In Vermont, the fees for public records requests are governed by 1 V.S.A. § 316. That statute establishes the legal authority for agencies to charge for copying and producing records. The law sets out the specific fee structure, including any allowable costs for staff time or materials, and provides for situations where fees may be reduced or waived. The exact amounts and conditions are defined entirely by the statute. Because the fee calculation depends on the nature of the request and the records involved, the official source should be consulted for the precise figures. The worked example below demonstrates how the fee is computed under this rule. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your own specific public records fee.
