Town Government
Leverett 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 answers up to the Town Administrator, who coordinates the town’s daily work for the Select Board.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit leverett.ma.us. Town Hall is at 9 Montague Road.
