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. The departments coordinate their day-to-day work through the Town Administrator’s office.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit miltonma.gov. Town Hall is at 525 Canton Avenue.
