Deadline

Biennial renewal (26 V.S.A. 5507). OPR licenses renew on a fixed two-year cycle for each profession; the exact expiration date is shown in the OPR online account and on Find a Professional. OPR emails a renewal notice and opens renewal 6 weeks before expiration. An initial registration issued 90 days or less before the profession's renewal date runs through the next full two-year period.

Late fee

Not set out in 26 V.S.A. ch. 106.

Penalty relief is possible only for exceptional circumstances or extreme hardship.

Grace period

No grace period stated; registration is expired after the expiration date and work requiring registration may not be contracted. Renewal opens 6 weeks before expiration.
