Town and School Meeting
Williamstown’s annual Town and School Meetings are to be held on March 3, 2026:
Birth and death certificates
As of July 1, 2019, Town Clerks can no longer make birth and death certificates available from the vault (new state law). The person requesting a certified copy of either a birth or death needs to fill out an application form and show a form of ID. Follow this link to download the application. It will be a little more time-consuming than before so please be patient.
Licensing your dog(s)
All dogs need to be registered by April 1st, with a current rabies certificate on file.
Please be sure to license them before 4/1/2025 so there isn’t a late fee attached to the license fee. If you have any problem getting down to the Town Hall, you can mail a check and a copy of the rabies certificate if your dog has a new one since the previous year and we will mail your tag and license to you.
The fees are:
Spayed/Neutered: Before April 1st, $14.00 – after the deadline, $18.00
Nonspayed/Neutered: Before April 1st, $18.00 – after the deadline, $22.00
If you no longer have a dog, please let us know so we can take them out of the computer.
