Why Vermont’s Cleaning Market Offers Premium Opportunities
Vermont is a small state with an outsized opportunity for cleaning businesses. With only about 480 cleaning companies serving 270,000 households, the market is far less saturated than larger states. Vermont’s median household income of $72,400 supports solid demand for professional cleaning, and the state’s emphasis on quality of life means residents readily invest in services that free up their time.
The seasonal tourism economy is a significant revenue driver. Vermont’s ski season (November–April) fills lodges, vacation rentals, and second homes across Stowe, Killington, Sugarbush, and Stratton. Summer and fall foliage seasons bring another wave of visitors. Cleaning businesses that serve vacation properties often earn 30–50% of their annual revenue from seasonal tourism work alone.
Vermont’s remote work migration has also boosted the market. Thousands of professionals relocated to Vermont during and after the pandemic, bringing urban incomes to rural communities. These new residents are accustomed to professional cleaning services and are eager to find reliable local providers. MaidProfit helps you capture and retain these high-value clients.
Low Competition, High Demand
Vermont has fewer cleaning businesses per capita than almost any other state. With limited competition and strong demand from tourism, second homes, and relocating professionals, well-run operators can quickly dominate their local market.

What Vermont Cleaners Charge
Vermont rates reflect the Northeast premium and seasonal demand spikes during ski and foliage seasons.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $130 – $290 | $190 |
| Deep Cleaning | $250 – $540 | $370 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $300 – $640 | $440 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.10 – $0.22 | $0.15 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $115 – $250 | $170 |
Stowe, Killington, and other resort communities command premium rates, often 30–40% above the state average during peak season. Burlington offers strong year-round pricing. Smaller communities like Rutland and Barre are more affordable but have consistent local demand.
Vermont Cleaning Business Requirements
Business Registration
Register your business with the Vermont Secretary of State. LLC filing costs $125 online. Sole proprietors using a trade name must file a DBA with their town clerk.
Sales Tax
Vermont’s state sales tax is 6%, plus a 1% local option tax in some municipalities. Cleaning services are subject to sales tax in Vermont. Register with the Department of Taxes for a business tax account.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Vermont requires workers’ comp insurance for all employers with one or more employees. Cleaning businesses typically pay $2.50–$4.00 per $100 of payroll. Vermont has some of the highest workers’ comp rates in the country.
General Liability Insurance
Not legally required but strongly recommended, especially for vacation property cleaning. Most Vermont cleaning businesses carry $500K–$1M coverage at $500–$950 per year.
No State Cleaning License
Vermont does not require a specific state-level cleaning license. Local permits may be required depending on your municipality. Burlington requires a general business license.
State Income Tax
Vermont has a progressive income tax ranging from 3.35% to 8.75%. The top rate is among the highest in the nation, so maximizing deductions and business expenses is especially important.
