Just a reminder that we're in the 30 day grace period for dog licenses. Dogs should've been licensed before the end of December last year. January is the grace period. Starting Monday Feb. 3 you'll get a $25 late fee from the state (NOT the town--it's not our late fee!). Please get your dog licensed today or tomorrow.
On January 23rd 2025 these six members completed the last of their required class work and instructional hours in order to obtain their basic EMT licenses. Next stop is the National Registry test, and then they will officially be licensed in the state to provide care.
CONGRATULATIONS to each of you! Thank you for your dedication through the long hours and your commitment to not only our department, but to the whole community.
TOP L-R: Dylan Fuller, John Dillon, Ward Carpenter. BOTTOM L-R: Derek Jay, Mike Lunt, Samantha Morse.

"I just bought a brand new car; what do I need to bring to the town office?"
1) The bill of sale. We need this to verify you paid sales tax and title fee. If you did NOT pay these things (if you bought the car out of state, for example), your registration will need to be completed at the Rockland BMV office.
2) The title application. Most of the information we'll need to do the registration is on that document.
3) The Monroney label, or the "window sticker." The Monroney lable has the manufacturer's suggested retail price on it. Your excise tax is based on THAT figure, and NOT what you paid for the vehicle.
If you have plates from another vehicle you'd like to put on your new car, we can (if you paid sales tax and title fee) complete the entire registration at the town office. If you'd like to do that we also need:
4) The old registration that goes with those plates, and...
5) Proof of insurance
The Harbor Committee meeting scheduled for Thursday November 7th has been rescheduled a week out, and will now be held on November 14th.
The planning board meeting that was scheduled for Tuesday November 12th has been canceled.
