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. Each department coordinates with the Town Administrator, who oversees the day-to-day work of the town.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit brookfieldma.us. Town Hall is at 6 Central Street.
