Town Government
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 to the Town Administrator, who oversees the department heads.
The directory below covers the departments residents contact most. For the full list, hours, and staff, visit weststockbridge-ma.gov. The Town Offices are at 21 State Line Road.
