The Town of Westport Island is accepting bids for a complete revaluation of all taxable and tax exempt real and personal property within the Town of Westport Island, effective no later than April 1, 2027, with a tax commitment date of mid-August 2027.

All dogs that live on Westport Island or visit for 10 days or longer must be licensed every year. Licensing for 2025 is now underway and the state's online dog licensing system is up and running! You will need a current rabies vaccine certificate uploaded as a pdf to get started. If you don't have one, email us - we have many of your rabies certificates scanned in already. Please try to license online before coming in to license in person, as the state has implemented a new system that works best online. If you can't make it work, come on in and we are happy to help!   

Are you a builder or contractor? Know one? We need to hire someone to make repairs to the historic Town Hall and build an ADA compliant entryway structure and bathroom. Please email townclerk@westportisland.gov if interested in any of those projects! 

The Westport Island results of the 2024 General & Referendum Election are available here. Thank you to all who helped out and voted! 

Did you know that towns can accept donations? If you would like to help the town pay for things we already approved at the last town meeting, reduce the property tax burden, or pay down debt, the Select Board would love to hear from you! Or if you have an idea for a future project to put funds towards, the Select Board can work with you to put it in front of the next town meeting for consideration. See our philanthropy webpage for details! 

You probably don't think of the Town Office when you think about holiday shopping, but why not? We have several wonderful Westport Island history books and greeting card packs for sale (check or cash only), and hunting and fishing licenses or snowmobile registration renewals make great stocking stuffers! Stop on by during office hours. 

Be ready when the snow flies to hop on your sled and go! Register online or here at the town office.  

The town will be acquiring an electric sign before the end of the year. This will enable us to announce many more town meetings and events, and will also help notify residents of important safety information during emergences. If you have any questions, reach out to townclerk@westportisland.gov.  

The DOT will be re-paving the Westport bridge at some point. You can check out the plan here. Once again, our patience and neighborliness will be tested as we wait for the light to turn green (even if no one is coming the other way! 😊
