Who we serve · Cities and towns

Every resident can take part in town government

Permits, licenses, meeting packets, warrants, budgets and bylaws are how residents do business with the town. When they are inaccessible PDFs, some residents simply cannot.

Your deadline

  • Your date depends on your population in the 2020 Census.
  • 50,000 people or more: April 26, 2027. Under 50,000: April 26, 2028.
  • Boards, commissions and departments that are part of the town follow the town's date.

The documents that matter most

  • Permit and license applications

    Tier 1: residents use them to apply for services.

  • Meeting agendas, packets and minutes

    Posted every week; monitoring keeps new ones accessible.

  • Budgets, annual reports and town meeting warrants

    Tables and charts need real structure and descriptions.

  • Bylaws, zoning maps and plans

    Maps need text alternatives; older plans may qualify as archived content.

  • Notices and forms from boards and commissions

    Often scanned, so they need text recognition first.

Who usually leads the work

  • The town or city clerk
  • The ADA coordinator
  • IT or the webmaster
  • The town manager or administrator

How we help

  • A free audit across every department's documents
  • Monthly monitoring for meeting packets and new postings
  • Forms rebuilt so residents can fill them in on screen
  • Plain pricing you can put in a warrant article or budget line
