What if I forgot my username?

I don’t remember my IRC certificate number. How can I find it out?

What if the system won’t let me add my property?

If you get a message stating that the property address could not be verified, click the button "Request Address Exception". The Health Department will review the address and send you a reply email.

My property has been completely renovated and does not have lead paint. Do I still have to file an IRC Compliance Statement?

The only way to be exempt from IRCs is to have an extensive, surface-by-surface inpsection of your building that indicates no lead paint is present. This inspection must be performed by a Vermont-certified Lead Inspector or Risk Assessor and the inspector's report must be sent to the Health Department.
