Town Government
East Bridgewater 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 reports up through the Town Administrator’s office, and the Select Board votes the contracts of the people who lead them.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours and staff, visit eastbridgewaterma.gov. Town Hall is at 175 Central Street, open Monday 8:30 am to 7 pm, Tuesday through Thursday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and Friday 8:30 am to noon.
