Town Clerk

In most Vermont municipalities, the Town Clerk is the most visible elected official.  The Town Clerk is the receiver and recorder of the town’s archives. The Clerk records deeds related to real estate and private property transactions and files vital statistics information and other records relating to town business.  While many of the Town Clerk’s duties and responsibilities are clearly defined in state statutes, others are a result of custom and availability, such as fielding telephone inquiries dealing with anything from the next selectboard meeting to recycling hours.
