Vermont's courts are open, but they are operating differently than they were before the COVID-19 pandemic started. Like many public spaces, courthouses have had to adapt to rising and falling case numbers and as the understanding of COVID-19 has changed.

The best way to find Vermont public records is to start with the Vermont State Archives. The archives hold various historical documents, including court records, vital records, maps, and more. There is a fee for copies of most public records, and you will need to submit a request in writing, in person, or by phone.
