Town Clerk

The Town Clerk’s Office is now located at the Patton Homestead, 650 Asbury Street.    PLEASE CALL 978-468-5570 X 3 to confirm our AVAILABILITY and schedule an APPOINTMENT. Because we could not bring all of our records to the new location, we may have to go back to Town Hall to access documents in the vault.  Unfortunately, this may cause a delay in responding to a request for a record or document. Thank you for your patience.  We look forward to seeing you at our new location.

Fri, June 28 from 11:00 – 11:30

Wed, July 3 from 12:30 – 2:00 and closing the office at 3:30

Thu, July 4 closed for the holiday

2024 CENSUS/STREET LIST.  Census forms were mailed the week of January 16.  Signed, completed forms can be mailed to the Town Clerk’s Office in the envelope provided, dropped in the Drop-Box in front of the public safety building (the black drop box that previously was at Town Hall), or dropped off at the Town Clerk’s Office at the Patton Homestead, 650 Asbury Street.  Please note office closure times above if you plan to drive to the Patton Homestead.

2024 VOTER INACTIVATION.  Voters that did not return a 2024 Census form have, pursuant to MGL C.51 s.37, been moved to inactive voter status.  The Census form is confirmation that a voter continues to reside in Hamilton and, therefore, is eligible to vote in Hamilton.  Inactivated voters will receive a confirmation postcard, from the Clerk’s Office, asking for a signature to confirm residency.  Please return the postcard as soon as possible.  Inactive voters that still reside in Hamilton but do not return the postcard will continue to be marked as inactive on the voter list and will have to show proof of residency at the State Primary or State Election. 

APPOINTMENTS REQUIRED:  To ensure that the Town Clerk’s Office is available to assist you with a request for notary services; copies of birth, death or marriage certificates; the filing of business certificates (DBA’s) or marriage intentions, please call 978-468-5570 x 3 to schedule an appointment. Patton Homestead hours:  MON/WED/THU  8:30 am – 4:30 pm; TUES  8:30 am – 6:30 pm; FRI 8:30 – 12:30. The office may be closed at lunch depending on staff availability and may be closed when staff are in training.
