Town Clerk
Effective June 29, 2020 – COVID-19
Department Reduced Services
The Town Clerk’s Office is temporarily operating with reduced staff and other resources due to COVID-19, resulting in the reduction or suspension of some Town services. This is necessary due to the impact of Federal and State COVID-19 related work rules on service delivery, higher Town expenses related to COVID-19, and reductions in Town fee revenues due to the evolving public health emergency and related economic and regulatory climate. We thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time.
We are available for in person services from 7:30AM to noon. Masks are required.
We are available by phone and email in the afternoon from noon-4:30. Please call us at 802-264-5520 or email us TownClerk@colchestervt.gov so we can assist in providing our services to you remotely.
