About the Town Clerk
The Town Clerk is responsible for maintaining records for the Town as well as being the point of dissemination of information to citizens of the town. Vital statistics (birth or marriage or death), licenses, public notices, town meeting information, Zoning Board decisions, business certificates, and fuel storage permits are all issued from this office as well as the issuing of recycling and tag sale permits.
The other chief function is elections. Voting lists, ballot preparation, certification of nomination papers and initiative petitions, voter registrations, and the annual census are all handled in the Clerk's office.
Please note that marriage intentions or filing for your marriage license are done by appointment only.
