Town Clerk
The Town Clerk’s office, located in Middlesex Town Hall, is the hub of town activity. Not only does the Town Clerk run Middlesex’s elections; this is where you go if you want to look at town records (land, birth, death, marriage, you name it), ask a question about local taxes, or license your dog. Many meeting notices are also posted at this office.
Vermont law entrusts the Town Clerk with an extraordinary list of duties, ranging from recording, preserving and certifying public documents to administering oaths of office, running the local elections, maintaining the grand list, issuing marriage licenses, and licensing animals.
The Town Clerk is elected at Town Meeting for a one-year term. Middlesex also has an Assistant Town Clerk, appointed by the Town Clerk. The Town Clerk is an independent official, answerable only to the voters. S/he may set the clerk’s office hours. (See Contacts)
