Town Clerk's Office

As do most municipalities in Vermont, Barnet combines the offices of Town Clerk and Treasurer in one position. The Clerk-Treasurer and Assistant staff the Town Clerk's Office on Route 5 in Barnet Village. The Town Clerk portion of their duties includes recording, preserving and certifying public documents, administering oaths of office, complying with public information requests, posting notices on the town’s bulletin board, running the local elections, issuing marriage licenses and licensing animals. Treasurer responsibilities include keeping the town’s and school district's financial accounts, investing town and school district money, and paying the bills when orders to do so are properly submitted.

In addition to being the office of the Clerk-Treasurer, the Town Clerk's Office, by virtue of being the Town's only municipal office building, serves as the meeting place for various other town officers and outlet for providing their services.
