Due to changes in the US Postal Service, mail can no longer be guaranteed to be postmarked on the day it is collected. The US Postal Service has stated that it can now take up to 3-4 days for regularly collected mail to be postmarked. It is recommended that anyone mailing in tax payments close to the due dates to hand the letter to the postal worker behind the counter, and they can stamp it with the postmarked date. Doing this will prevent tax bills from being considered late and incurring extra costs and payments. Read more.

The Town will be closing Old Colony Road to through traffic. Signage will be placed on the Route 272 (North Street) end of Old Colony Road informing drivers that the road is closed for through traffic. Signage and barricades will be placed on the Route 44 end on Old Colony Road informing motorists that the road is closed.
This is in response to the numerous calls from concerned residents about the amount of traffic on Old Colony Road and the speed the traffic is traveling. The Norfolk Public Works crew has also experienced many near misses exiting and entering the driveway to the Public Works Department.
Permits for the Transfer Station may be obtained in person at the Town Clerk’s office during normal business hours, Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to noon, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., or by mail. There is also a locked mailbox on the front porch where applications with checks can be deposited. Application available here.
