Frequently asked, answered...

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive:
 

	Auditors are elected officers who verify and assure the accuracy of the Town of Dummerston's financial accounts, which are then published in the annual Town Report. Current Auditors are Ruth Hoffman, Joe Little, and Ray Harris.
	Justices of the Peace serve as election officials, determine tax appeals, and administer oaths to solemnize marriages. The names of the seven elected Justices, or "JPs," are noted in the Town Report, and you can always call the Town Clerk for more information about their availability for an upcoming wedding.
	Registering to vote is quick and easy. The State maintains online facilities for your convenience: visit the Vermont Online Voter Registration page. You'll also want to check out My Voter Page for personalized election information about the status of your voter registration, absentee ballot, or mail-in application and ballot. You'll also find details about your poll location, elected officials, your registration information on file with the town office, a sample ballot for the upcoming election, and more.
	Zoning permits are required prior to any construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration, relocation or enlargement of any building, or other structure, or of any mining, excavation of landfill, and any change in the use of any building or other structure, or land, or extension of use of land and division of land. New driveways require a curb cut permit. Applications and information are available at the Town Office.
