Town Clerk
Responsibility
The position of Town Clerk has an ancient and honorable history. In biblical times town clerks were scribes or scholars, learned men who were among the few people who could read and write. Their writings became the historical record of the times.
Today the Town Clerk's office is a resource for both the resident and business community in Burlington. We have birth, death and marriage records. As well as personnel records, the Clerk's office is where you will license your dog and register your business. We also have information for businesses and economic developers.
