Mission Statement

The Department is a combined Collector/Treasurer office.

The Town Collector’s office is responsible for collecting all taxes and committed bills issued by the various town departments. All payments are recorded, posted, updated, and deposited daily. The Collectors staff is committed to providing our customers with up-to-date information on their accounts in an effective and efficient manner – using guidelines established by the Department of Revenue and Town Ordinance.

The Town Treasurer’s office is responsible for the receipt, posting, classifying, depositing, and investment of all money belonging to the Town. This also includes the issuance of all Town payroll (Town and School Dept) and vendor checks on a weekly and bi-weekly basis.
