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 Savoy the departments answer to the elected Select Board, and much of the work is overseen by boards the voters elect directly.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit townofsavoy.com. The town offices are at 720 Main Road, and office hours vary by department. In an emergency, always call 911.
