A Town Hall You Can Reach in One Call
In a big town, a resident learns to navigate a dozen separate departments. Monroe is the opposite. Almost everything the town does runs through Town Hall on School Street and the three-member Select Board that works out of it: records, licenses, permits, the town census, and voter registration all come back to the same small office. That is one of the quiet advantages of a town this size. The person who can help you is rarely more than one phone call away.
Town Hall is at 3 School Street, Monroe, MA 01350, and the number for the town is 413-424-5272.
Who Handles What
| Select Board | The town’s chief executive: policy, appointments, licenses, and the warrant that sets Town Meeting’s agenda. Monroe Town Hall, 3 School Street. 413-424-5272. |
|---|---|
| Town Clerk | Records, vital records, the town census, and elections, at Town Hall. 413-424-5272. |
| Fire | Fire suppression and emergency response from the town’s fire station. For any emergency, call 911. |
| Police | Monroe has no municipal police force. The town is patrolled by the Massachusetts State Police, Troop B, out of the Shelburne Falls barracks. For any emergency, call 911. |
| Library | The town library is part of the regional library network, which lets a Monroe card borrow from libraries across the area. |
Monroe maintains no town website, so the fastest way to reach the town or confirm a meeting is to call Town Hall at 413-424-5272.
