Town Government
Dudley 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. Nearly all of them sit in one building, the Dudley Municipal Complex at 71 West Main Street, which is also where the Board of Selectmen meets.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit dudleyma.gov.
