About us:

            The Town Clerk is a two year elected position.  The Town Clerk’s Office serves as Danbury’s keeper of the records for all documents that pertain to the City of Danbury and its residents.  The Clerk’s Office follows the State of Connecticut Statutes to efficiently maintain, protect and preserve all land records, maps, trade names, vital records, military discharges, and minutes of all commission meetings.  The office issues and maintains a variety of licenses and plays a major role in elections, primaries, and referendums, including the issuance of absentee ballots.

          All land records are indexed and scanned and put into volumes.  Additional copies of land records are kept offsite for the purpose of replacing the volumes in the event of lost or damage to the current records in City Hall.  Land record indexes are available via the city website. 

          In addition, the office provides certified copies of any land records filed into the Danbury Land Records, a certified copy is as good as the original document.  The Town Clerk’s Office also functions as the Registrar of Vital Statistics.  Any birth, marriage, civil union, or death, which occurs in the City of Danbury will be on file in this office.  This means we are able to issue certified copies of these vital records. 

          The Town Clerk acts as the guardian of the City Seal, affixing the seal only to proper and valid municipal documents.  All records in the Town Clerk’s Office are public with the exception of birth certificates and veteran’s discharges.

Our accomplishments:

              As the keeper of records, the Town Clerk’s Office had several old books and maps of the City of Danbury that were in bad condition.  These important books and maps contain the history of Danbury and date back to the 1800’s.  Through the completed preservation of these documents by this office, these records are now preserved for years to come. 

            In addition, the office upgraded the software for the land record system.  This upgrade allows the office more accurate and efficient workflow with our indexing.  The new public search portal gives our customers more advanced features making their searches easier.

            Everyday our office continues to provide excellent customer service to each and every person who visits us, and we will continue to strive to be a public friendly environment where the taxpayer comes first.
