Resident beach and vehicle permits are issued by the Town; you'll need proof of residency, and oversand vehicle access to the beach has its own permit. Start at the Town's website and look for beach permits under the beach operations pages, and see our complete beach guide for how the whole access system fits together. Official page →
How do I get a transfer station sticker?
There's no municipal curbside trash pickup for most of town, so the transfer station is the Duxbury way, and stickers are sold annually (online and in person). The season runs April through March. Official page →
How do I license my dog, and walk it on town land?
Two separate things: a dog license from the Town Clerk, and then a dog walking permit, which is required to take your dog on town or conservation land and the beach. The dog must be licensed first, and the beach has its own seasonal dog rules, mapped out in our beach guide. Official page →
How do I pull a building permit?
The Building Department handles permits for construction and renovation, with online application options. The Town also publishes monthly lists of permits issued, worth a browse if you're curious what's being built around town. Official page →
How do I stay on top of town news and meetings?
The Town runs an E-Alerts system: subscribe by topic (beach updates, department news, meeting agendas and minutes) and it lands in your inbox. It's the single highest-value signup in town. Official page →
Who do I actually call?
The Town's department directory lists direct phone numbers for every office, usually faster than the main line. Official page →
