Finding the Right Department
Most services residents need (paying a bill, pulling a permit, reporting a problem, registering to vote) run through a city department rather than an elected official. In Revere’s strong-mayor system, department heads are appointed by and report to the Mayor.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit revere.org/departments. The main City Hall line is 781-286-8311.
