From The Town Office

Here at Town Office, a lot has been going on as we prepare for summer! Our software program that handles all vehicle registrations, tax collections, town budgets, etc. has been recently upgraded, so we are busy learning the new system. Our Mooring software has seen some changes as well, and we expect to be up and running sometime in the beginning of May. Watch for your welcome email! We’re excited to be installing four new floats at the Stone Pier this spring – you can expect to see them sometime in the beginning of May, as well. Boat tie-up stickers are now available for purchase. With help from our friends at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, we will be rolling out the new Pine Tree License Plate starting May 1 st ! • THIS ONLY AFFECTS CHICKADEE LICENSE PLATES. IF YOUR PLATE HAS A CHICKADEE, IT WILL BE REPLACED AT YOUR REGULAR RE-REGISTRATION. Specialty license plates (Lobster, Conservation, Breast Cancer, Veteran’s, etc) are not affected by this. • All new registrations and re registrations, beginning May 1 st , will be issued a new license plate from the town office. This rollout will continue for the next 12 months as we retire the chickadee plates. • No May re-registrations can be done before May 1 st as we prepare for this transition. • If you want to keep your current plate

number/sequence, including vanity or low-digit plates, you need to reserve your plate sequence for a $25 fee. Grab a form at town office or go to www. maine.gov/sos/bmv/registration/NPI. html to print one out. • Old chickadee plates can be dropped at Town Office for recycling, though it is not required that they get returned. • Beginning Wednesday, May 28 th , Town Office will move to summer hours, open M-W-Th-F from 9am – 4pm and closed on Tuesdays.

This winter and spring, we are on a learning curve with so much change involving transactions, technology and procedures, all in an effort to serve you better. We all thank you for your patience as we ready ourselves for the busy season!
