Calais News & Updates

  • Posting Land: The state of Vermont offers a couple of different ways to post your land. You can post a "Safety Zone" that creates a 500-ft no hunting buffer around all of the buildings on your property. (Signs available at no charge from the Town Office.) If you would like to extend the posting to additional acreage, you'll want to register at the Town Office annually. The process involves a brief form and a $5 fee and provides you with the backing of law enforcement in the event of unwanted hunting, trapping, and fishing. See "What Posting Means," from the VT Department of Fish & Wildlife, for more information.
  • Tax Bills: Property Tax bills were mailed out on Friday, August 9, 2024. Your first payment was due September 15, 2024, and your second payment was due November 15, 2024. If you have questions about your property taxes, contact Treasurer Kari Bradley at treasurer@calasivermont.gov.
  • Curtis Pond Dam Reconstruction: Construction on the Curtis Pond Dam will be taking place throughout the summer and fall. Please be respectful and patient with the workers as they do their work. The construction should not affect swimming, boating, or camping at Curtis Pond. You can find more information at www.curtispond.org, including a livestream video of the work in progress!
  • Updating the Town Plan: The Planning Commission is currently working on our 2024 Town Plan. The Town Plan is revisited and revised every eight years, and it touches on every aspect of life in our town. If you would like to provide the Planning Commission with feedback, see their online feedback form. If you would like to get involved more directly, you can email them at calaisvtpc@gmail.com. You can also find out more on our 2024 Town Plan Development page, or by looking at the 2016 Town Plan
 
If you can't find what you need here on the town website, please call the Town Office at (802) 456-8720. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and you can leave a voicemail at other times. You can also email us - see our Office Staff page for specific addresses.
