Vermont Agency of Agriculture Launches Online Service for Retail License Renewals
MONTPELIER, Vt. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The Vermont
Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets today announced the launch of
a new online service that allows licensed Vermont businesses to file,
renew, and pay online for their annual retail and W&M
(weighing-and-measuring) licenses (https://secure.vermont.gov/Agriculture/licensing).
The new web service is intended to create more convenience for Vermont
businesses, while saving on both business' and state government budgets
overall.
"This new online licensing service is a great first step toward
enhancing the Agency's use of technology to support Vermont businesses,
many which already subscribe to e-commerce best practices," said Chuck
Ross, Secretary of the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets.
The convenience of the web service is straightforward: with a few quick
clicks, retail business managers will be able to enter appropriate data
about their license need, select appropriate license types online and
pay securely by credit card, then get confirmation of renewal which they
can print out if they choose. Accessible online 24/7/365 at https://secure.vermont.gov/Agriculture/licensing/,
and built at no cost to the Agency over a two-year period by the state's
e-government partner Vermont
Information Consortium (VIC), the online application is the first
such service for the Agency - the first, they hope, of many to follow.
"We are pleased to be able to leverage technology in a way that will
make things more convenient and save our local business owners valuable
time," said Governor Peter Shumlin.
For questions about the new system, contact the Agency of Agriculture,
Food, and Markets at 828-828-2436.
