Town Government
Town Departments
Finding the Right Department
Most of what residents need from the town runs through a department, not an elected official: paying a bill, pulling a permit, reporting a problem, registering to vote. In a town Berkley’s size many offices sit under one roof at Town Hall, 1 North Main Street, and coordinate their work through the Town Administrator.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit townofberkleyma.gov.
