Bridgewater Town Hall Phone Numbers

Bridgewater Town Hall is the Municipal Office Building at 66 Central Square. This is where most town departments are based. The main phone number is (508) 697-0921.

How to Find Bridgewater Phone Numbers

There are a few ways to track down phone numbers in Bridgewater. Government contacts are simple to find. Private phone numbers for residents are harder because Massachusetts does not keep a public phone book for individuals.

For town government contacts, go to the Bridgewater town website. Each department page lists a main phone number, office hours, and key staff names. You can also just call the main town hall line at (508) 697-0921 and ask for any department. Staff at the front desk can transfer your call or give you a direct number to try later.

For court-related phone numbers, Bridgewater falls under the jurisdiction of the Brockton District Court for most local matters. More serious cases and probate issues go through the Plymouth County courts in Plymouth. You can search case records online through the MassCourts portal for free. The site shows docket entries, hearing dates, and basic case status information for courts across Massachusetts.

For business contacts, the Bridgewater town clerk keeps records of licensed businesses in town. You can ask for a specific listing. The Massachusetts Corporations Division also lets you look up any registered business in the state and find their agent of record contact info. This tool is free and covers all entity types.

Property records can also help you find contact info in some cases. The assessor's database shows property owners and addresses. For deeds and mortgages, the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds at plymouthdeeds.org holds all land records for Bridgewater. You can search by owner name or property address at no cost through masslandrecords.com.

Bridgewater Public Records

Public records in Bridgewater fall under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 66. The town's Records Access Officer is Kajelyn Beardsley. You can send requests by email to publicrecords@bridgewaterma.org or by mail to the Town Clerk's Office at 66 Central Square. All public record requests must go through the town clerk.

The town has 10 business days to respond once a request is received. Standard fees are $0.05 per page for black and white copies. The first two hours of search time are free for towns with more than 20,000 people, and Bridgewater qualifies at 28,000. After that, the charge caps at $25 per hour. Records that already exist in electronic form can be sent at no cost.

The types of records you can get include meeting minutes, permit applications, inspection reports, town contracts, and employee salary data. Court records are handled separately through the court clerk, not the town.
