Census/ Street List

Under Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 51, § 4 mandates an annual street listing (town census) of residents as of January 1st of each year. 

The form is available online: click here

All residents were mailed a pre-filled form in January; please return the form by mail or by dropping it in the drop box located outside Town Hall, 221 Main Street.

  If you need assistance or have questions, please feel free to contact: 

Town Clerk’s Office at (508)-869-2234 or email: dporter@boylston-ma.gov

 

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO RETURN THE CENSUS?

The Census is used to... 

  • Assist public safety and emergency responders
  • Apply for grants
  • Assist the Town and State in calculating State and Federal aid
  • Project future school enrollment and school registration outreach
  • Update the voter list – if you are a voter and do not respond, you could be made inactive
  • Serve as proof of residency - which residents need to qualify for veteran’s benefits, in-state tuition at state schools and other programs

All residents, not just voters, should return the form each year
