The Hartland Town Clerk's Office maintains the land records, maps, agendas and minutes for Hartland's Boards and Commissions. These records are public records and are available for public inspection during our regular office hours.
In Hartland, the Town Clerk and Assistant Town Clerks act as Registrars of Vital Statistics and maintain records for all births, marriages and deaths of Town residents. Even if the event of a Town resident didn't occur in Hartland, a certificate of the event will be recorded in the Town's Vital Records. Certified copies of these certificates are available through the Town Clerk's office for specific individuals. The parties of a marriage who would like the ceremony to occur in Hartland must obtain a marriage license from the Hartland Town Clerk.
Various other areas fall within the Town Clerk's duties which directly impact the public. These include issuing dog licenses, hunting and fishing licenses and liquor licenses; maintaining lists of Hartland's Justices of the Peace and Notaries, and members of the Town Boards and Commissions; and issuing absentee ballots.
