Town Government
Georgetown 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.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit georgetownma.gov. Town Hall is at 1 Library Street.
