Town Government
Sandisfield 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. In a town this size the departments are small and the same phone number reaches most of them. The Town Manager oversees the departments day to day and is the person the Select Board holds responsible for how they run.
The directory below covers the departments and offices residents contact most, with the head the town names on its own Elected and Appointed Officials roster. Most share the main town line, 413-258-4711. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit sandisfieldma.gov. Town Hall is at 66 Sandisfield Road.
