Vermont State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: None currently in effect

Vermont does not have a general state prevailing wage law for state-funded construction. Federal Davis-Bacon applies only to federally funded projects in Vermont. Some specific state programs may incorporate Davis-Bacon-like requirements through grant conditions.

Verify before relying on this: state prevailing-wage laws change. The summary above is a general reference compiled from publicly available state-law materials and is not legal advice. Confirm the current status with the cited state agency or a qualified attorney before bidding or paying workers under it.
