Typically a quick process for standard things and service with a smile.

The town clerk lady is very rude. I showed her all the proof to register my car and she treated me badly. People already have a hard life out here and we’re in hard situations, so registering your car shouldn’t be a hard concept , especially if you’re the town clerk. Have some respect.

Everyone of the front office staff is helpful. These jobs are not easy and the public can be short tempered so kudos to these gals for being patient. Thank you

Vicky is the best Town Clerk I have ever interacted with. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Whether it is a question on voter registration, getting your car registered, or a general town question Vicky is right there to help you! She is also a great problem solver and helped me avert a potential problem in the future with my car title.
