Reminder notices are sent out for auto registrations on the last day of the month before your birthday. We  renew by mail or a visit to the Town Office.

This is required of a vehicle model year 1989 or newer. Older vehicles (1989 and back) require a bill of sale and the person's registration you purchased the vehicle from OR a blue VIN Verification form that can be picked up from the Town Office.
