Public Record Request
The Town Clerk is the public records officer for the town. Any person may request information such as vital records, genealogy research, UCC filings and other documents. Often payment for these services is required before processing.
Minutes of meetings of municipal boards, committees and commissions and any decisions made by such boards are also public records. To obtain copies of these records, you must first submit a request to the board or other entity that has the records. It is recommended that you put your request in writing.
Custodians of public records have 10 calendar days to respond to your request. Such a response can be the requested information, information on when the records will be provided or a denial. Custodians may charge for copies and the time it takes to gather the information. Please read the Guide to the Massachusetts Public Records Law for more information.
