"I just bought a brand new car; what do I need to bring to the town office?"
1) The bill of sale. We need this to verify you paid sales tax and title fee. If you did NOT pay these things (if you bought the car out of state, for example), your registration will need to be completed at the Rockland BMV office.
2) The title application. Most of the information we'll need to do the registration is on that document.
3) The Monroney label, or the "window sticker." The Monroney lable has the manufacturer's suggested retail price on it. Your excise tax is based on THAT figure, and NOT what you paid for the vehicle.
If you have plates from another vehicle you'd like to put on your new car, we can (if you paid sales tax and title fee) complete the entire registration at the town office. If you'd like to do that we also need:
4) The old registration that goes with those plates, and...
5) Proof of insurance

Starting today (Friday) and on Monday we are in the "special circumstances" voting period. That means in order to vote absentee you must affirm there is a "special circumstance" that prevents you from coming to the polls on November 5th. Those reasons include:
~Unexpected absence from the municipality during the entire time the polls are open on Election Day; or
~Physical Disability; or
~Incapacity or illness that has resulted in the voter being unable to leave home or a treatment facility; or
~Inability to travel to the polls if the voter is a resident of a coastal island ward or precinct.
If you cannot affirm one of those circumstances, we will happily receive your ballot when you come to the town office to vote on Tuesday November 5th.

Second shout out to see if we can find the owner of this phone. It's been in our safe for a while. IIRC it was found down on Drift Inn beach. Would you consider sharing this?
