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. Each department reports up through the Town Administrator’s office, which answers in turn to the Select Board.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and every staff member by name, visit lynnfieldma.gov. Town Hall is at 55 Summer Street.
