Certificate of Approval
Certificate of Approval for Proposed Projects by Designated Mental Health and Developmental Services Agencies
Vermont Designated Mental Health and Developmental Services Agencies planning new projects are excluded from Certificate of Need (CON) review under Vermont law 18 V.S.A. § 9435(b). The review and approval authority for these agencies has been delegated to the Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Commissioner of the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL).
The approval for projects proposed by Designated Agencies is known as a Certificate of Approval (COA).
The procedures for applying for a Certificate of Approval are incorporated in the COA application packet below. The application packet includes by reference the required financial tables which are also listed below.
