The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, part of the State of Vermont's Agency of Commerce and Community Development, identifies, protects and promotes Vermont's public and private historic and archeological resources; including the maintenance, operation, and interpretation of state-owned historic sites.

The Division maintains inventories and provides information on historic buildings, districts, and archeological sites. It also administers the Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit (RITC) program, aimed at income-producing historic buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. The Division operates grant programs to repair historic buildings that are eligible for listing on the National Register.

The Division also conducts a town-by-town survey of historic structures and lists towns on the State Register of Historic Places and nominates properties to the National Register of Historic Places.
