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 to the Town Administrator, who supervises them for the Select Board.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours and staff, see the town’s staff directory. The Town House is at 459 Main Street and its main line is 508-359-8505.
