The Land Use Review Board is an independent entity in state government that oversees the administration of Act 250, Vermont's land use and development law. Act 250 was enacted by the Vermont legislature in 1970 to protect the environment in balance with sustainable development.

The law establishes standards and priorities for environmental and aesthetic protections and is responsible for helping Vermont retain its rural character, preserve the natural environment, and support the state's environmental diversity - which foster distinctive, attractive communities and a strong sense of place.
