Besides serving as election officials at all of last year's elections, the Town Clerk's Office has many responsibilities during the year. One significant responsibility is preserving, maintaining, managing and recording the town's public records, which includes a variety of documents such as land records, minutes, permits, survey maps, vital records, licenses, election and tax information. Some other responsibilities include preparing the warrant and ballot for the Town and Town School District Meeting, publication of the annual report and polling place setup.
In addition to our responsibilities, the Town Clerk's Office also offers many services throughout the year. For example, we register new voters, receive and respond to requests for absentee ballots, issue dog, hunting, fishing, town, liquor, and marriage licenses, provide certified copies of birth and death records, deed cemetery lots, receive documents for recording in our land records, issue motor vehicle, snowmobile and motor boat renewal registrations, provide notary services and process passport applications. We are excited to announce that we are now doing passport or identification photographs. You may purchase two 2" x 2" photos for $15.00.
