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 East Brookfield the departments answer to the elected Board of Selectmen, and much of the work is overseen by boards the voters elect directly.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit eastbrookfieldma.us. Most town offices are at the Memorial Town Complex, 122 Connie Mack Drive, and office hours vary by department.
