Not confirmedThe statute (26 V.S.A. § 75(a)) and Board Rule 6.1(d) confirm a 2-year renewal cycle for firm registrations, separate from but bundled with individual licenses -- but neither codifies a specific renewal date for firms. The administrative rule's date-setting clause (Rule 8.1(b)) fixes July 31 of odd-numbered years for 'Licenses' only; that specific date is not extended to firm registrations in codified rule text.

Anchor year not confirmed
Your Vermont firm registration renews every two years, confirmed by both the statute (26 V.S.A. § 75(a)) and Board Rule 6.1(d). The codified July 31/odd-year date in Rule 8.1(b) is written for "Licenses" only -- it is never extended to firm registrations in the rule text itself. Vermont's Office of Professional Regulation does apply that same July 31/odd-year date to firms in practice, per its own official fee and renewal-date table. So the two-year cycle is codified law; the July 31 date for firms comes from the regulator's own table, not from the statute or rule text.

Tiered under 3 V.S.A. Sec127(d)(1), which applies to a license that has expired for not more than one biennial period (a longer lapse falls outside this tiered penalty -- confirm the route with the Board): the normal $255 biennial renewal fee plus a reinstatement penalty of $100 flat (if reinstated within 30 days of expiration) or, if later, the renewal fee increased by $40 for each additional month late, capped at $1,500 -- total ranges roughly $355 to $1,755. A licensee may petition for relief from the penalty, which the board may grant only on a finding of exceptional circumstances or extreme hardship; fees are not assessed for any period during which the licensee was a member of the U.S. Armed Forces on active duty.
