Vermont Foreclosure Laws

In Vermont, a judicial foreclosure follows the procedure of "strict foreclosure" while a non-judicial foreclosure is based on the directive of a power of sale clause. A power of sale clause is a mortgage stipulation that allows the lender to pursue foreclosure without obtaining a court order in the event of a borrower’s default. In Vermont, unlike other states, even if a power of sale clause doesnot  exist, the lender may still have to go through the court system in order to obtain a decree of sale.

The decision if whether a power of sale foreclosure is able to go through the court or bypass it all together depends on the type of property involved in the foreclosure suit. If the property holds a unit of two dwellings or less, and it is the homeowner's principal residence, the lender must submit a petition to the court if they wish to obtain a decree of sale. If a decree of sale is granted, the foreclosure sale may not occur for at least another seven months after the court's ruling. For any other types of property, the lender will not need to consult the court at all. Instead, they must mail a notice of default to the homeowner, informing them of the threat of impending foreclosure if a default debt is not paid within 30 days. If these 30 days expire without payment, the lender may then need to issue a notice of sale.

In the case of a strict judicial foreclosure, the lender must file a suit outlining the homeowner's default with the county court. The homeowner then receives a court summons to determine whether or not default has occurred. If the court rules against the homeowner, strict foreclosure procedure provides that the lender may immediately repossess the property and either keep it or sell it at any point thereafter.
If the lender wishes to sell in a non-judicial scenario, he must follow the regulations for the publication of a notice of Sale outlined under Vermont foreclosure law. The notice must be both filed with the town registrar and presented to the homeowner no less than 60 days before the sale is scheduled to occur. Besides being filed to the registrar and the current homeowner, a notice of sale must also be published weekly for the three weeks leading up to the sale in a local newspaper.

The public foreclosure auction must occur at the site of the property in question. Once a winning bidder is established, a court-ordered non-judicial foreclosure provides that the court has ten days in which to confirm the sale. During this time, the original homeowner has a right to redeem their property, granted that they have paid the amount owed in full on the original mortgage loan. Once the sale is confirmed, full ownership may be transferred to the winning bidder and the homeowner loses all redemption rights. In a lender-initiated non-judicial foreclosure, ownership is transferred within 90 days. In this case, the original homeowner's redemption rights are determined by the stipulation of the original mortgage agreement.
