To the residents of Oxford,
In an earlier bulletin, the Town Manager indicated that the services the town of Oxford provides to its residents, in response to COVID-19, was fluid and therefore subject to change. The situation has evolved to where the Board of Selectmen and Town Manager have enacted a plan to gradually re-open the town office. Some limitations remain in order to mitigate the risk of potential viral transmission/exposure to our employees and the public.
Effective 8:00 AM, Monday May 11th, 2020
One window in the clerk’s office will be open to process new registrations of vehicles, boats, ATVs and trailers.

- We ask that the public follow social distancing recomendations and use face coverings when entering the public building.
- The Code Office and Assessor’s Office will remain available by phone or email only (restricted from public access).
Many services such as re-registrations of vehicles and ATV’s, payment of taxes, etc. are available online. The links to those services many of you utilize on an annual basis are available on this site. To limit your exposure to the virus, we strongly urge all residents to take advantage of online services.
