If you need to know about the town, this is the place to ask. The Town Clerk acts as the Town's chief election official, registrar of vital statistics (births, marriages, deaths), public records, recording officer, officer, and licensing officer. The Clerk works with the Board of Registrars to oversee polling places and the general conduct of all elections. The Clerk maintains records of adopted regulations, bylaws, oaths of office, appointments and resignations. The office issues state licenses and permits, including marriage, hunting, dog, fishing and trapping licenses. Copies of Town regulations, by-laws and maps are available in this office.
