Town Government
Sharon 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. Each department reports up through the Town Administrator’s office, and each one has a person whose actual job is the thing you are calling about.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit the town staff directory. Town Hall is at 90 South Main Street, and the main number is 781-784-1500.
