Burlington rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Burlington, placing any object or structure in a street requires public liability insurance and a permit from the Select Board.

From December 1 through April 1, vehicles may not be left on a street between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m., with fines of $25 and then $50, and vehicles that interfere with plowing can be removed at the owner's cost. Town plows start on major roads after about 2 inches of snow.
