2025 CENSUS / STREET LISTING INFORMATION       

Annual Town Census, Street List and Misc Census Info

The 2025 Census Forms are being mailed to each household, residents are urged to review, update, sign and return them as soon as possible. Even if there are no changes, we still need them to be returned. All occupants, including children, should be listed, although information obtained for residents under age 17 remains confidential.

Forms can be mailed to Town Clerk, 72 East Main Street, Norton Ma 02766. An envelope has been included with the census for your convenience.

Any resident who did not receive a census form, or who might need another one, should call Town Clerk’s office (508) 285-0230 or you may download a blank Census Form found in the list to the left

Why fill out the Census?

Town census is important for many reasons. First and foremost, it establishes legal residence for voting privileges and town benefits. It is also the vehicle by which annual street lists are printed for distribution to police, fire and medical personnel. It is the census figures that are used to determine grants or to receive state and federal reimbursements and aide. School enrollments are also based on town census.

Please make sure you and your families are counted!

Completing this form DOES NOT register you as a voter, but failure to answer this annual listing shall result in a voter's name being REMOVED from the active voters list and may result in removal from the voter registration rolls (MGL c51,s4).  According to Massachusetts state law, failure to return a completed census shall result in removal from the Active Voting List. 

The census envelope contains a warning (as directed by Mass. General Law) that "failure to respond to the census mailing for two (2) consecutive years will result in removal from the active voting list". 

Annual Street List of Residents

The Annual Street List of Residents is published in late spring and is available in the Town Clerk’s office for a fee of $10.00.
