Vt. Stat. Ann. tit. 19, § 796

When a bridge is required between two towns and the selectboards of the towns do not agree to build it, the selectboard of either town may petition the Superior Court. The petition and citation shall be served on one or more selectboard members of the other town, and the same proceedings shall be had as though application had been made by persons who are either voters or landowners and whose number is at least five percent of the voters.
