Annual Street List (Town Census)

Under Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 51, § 4 mandates an annual street listing (town census) of residents as of January 1st of each year. 

All residents are mailed a pre-filled form in January; please return the form by mail, using the enclosed return addressed envelope, or by dropping it in one of the drop boxes located outside Town Hall, 401 Middle Road. You may, alternatively, scan or photograph your signed annual street listing (town census) and email to townclerk@chilmarkma.gov. 

If you need assistance or have questions, please feel free to contact: 

Town Clerk’s Office at (508)-645-2107 or email: townclerk@chilmarkma.gov
