Annual Street Listing

At the beginning of each year, the Town Clerk's office, as required by Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 51, conducts an Annual Street Listing of residents. You will receive this form in the mail in early January. Residents are urged to review the form, make any necessary corrections, and return it promptly to the Town Clerk's office - even if there are no changes needed.

How is the Information Used? 

1. State and Federal Aid: Accurate population counts are essential to determine the amount of aid our town receives.
2. Voter Registration: Helps maintain an updated list of registered voters.
3. School Enrollment: Supports the School Department in projecting future student enrollment levels.
4. Council on Aging: Aids in estimating demand for services for residents aged 60 and older.
5. Public Safety: Assists the Public Safety Department in planning for emergency and public safety services.
6. Residency Verification: The street list can help establish residency for purposes such as in-state tuition, veterans' benefits, job applications, special low-cost loan programs, and adoption applications.
