The Annual Census form is available online and can be returned electronically to [email protected]

General Laws of Massachusetts (Chapter 51, § 4) mandate an annual street listing (town census) of residents as of January 1 of each year. All residents were mailed a pre-filled form in January, please return the form by mail or e-mail.  If you need assistance or have questions, please feel free to contact the Town Clerk’s Office at (508) 747-1620 ext 10218 or email [email protected]

Why is it important to return the census?

-It is used to assist public safety and emergency responders

-It is used to apply for grants

-It is used to assist the Town and State in calculating State and Federal aid

-It is used to project future school enrollment and for registration outreach

-It is used to update the voter list – if you are a voter and do not respond, you could be made inactive on the voting list.

-It serves as proof of residency which residents need to qualify for veteran’s benefits, in-state tuition at state schools and other programs

All residents, not just voters, should return the form each year. If you wish to verify your voter registration status, click here.
