Every town is required by law to have a Town Clerk.

The Town Clerk's office is frequently considered the center of Town Government.  It is not only the office which is responsible for recording activities of the Town Government, but it is the central place in which are filed documents and papers vital to the lives of the townspeople.                                          

Death Certificate Corrections - Due to security reasons, the application for The Correction of a Death Certificate is not available on line. Applications are available at the Town Clerk’s Office or may be obtained directly from the Department of Health.

Dog License - The application shall be accompanied by the license fee and a certificate of rabies vaccination. Proof of neutering or spaying is also required. The licensing fee is as follows:

If Dog is Spayed/ Neutered: $10.00
If Dog is NOT Spayed/Neutered: $20.00
