From the Town Clerk:
The Town census forms were put in the mail in early January as well as dog registration.
It is very important to keep the town census up to date to keep your voting status active. (If your voting status does become inactive you will need to bring your state ID and proof of residence to the polls in order to vote.) Check the information on the form sent to you, make any changes or additions, sign and either drop off in the drop box by the back door or put in the mail. It is also important to note that even if there are no changes you should sign the form and get it to the Town Hall.
Dog Registration forms were also included with the census forms. Please fill out the information asked on the paper, include a copy of your dog’s rabies vaccination, and payment. This can all be dropped off in the drop box, mailed, or brought into the Town Hall with your census form. The 2021 dog licenses are valid until March 31, 2022; after that there is a $10.00 per license late fee.
