Quincy City Departments
Finding the Right Department
Most of what residents need from the city runs through a department, not an elected official: paying a bill, pulling a permit, reporting a problem, registering to vote. Each department reports to the Mayor, who appoints its head.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit quincyma.gov. The main City Hall line is 617-376-1000.
