On-line bill pay and Municipal Center mailbox available for payments

In light of the Governor’s Declaration and after consultation with Town Emergency Management Officials, Bellingham’s municipal operations will be scaled back over the next several weeks from Tuesday March 17th and through Tuesday, April 7th. We will be constantly re-evaluating our operations and make changes as conditions warrant.

The following summarizes the current operations of Municipal facilities:

Municipal Center

Business with the Town requiring an in-person transaction may only be conducted by appointment through each department. Residents are encouraged to use the on-line services and the drop box outside of Town Hall for bill payment. Town offices will continue to be staffed but we are limiting one on one contact throughout all town buildings.  All non-essential meetings have been postponed. Please check the town calendar for up to date information.
