March 2026

Does your dog have its new 2026 purple dog tag? Dog licenses are due on March 1. If you still need a license please stop in the office or purchase online at townofotisma.com. 

The town meeting clickers will be used for voting during the annual town meeting in May. Things can move very quickly during the town meeting, and I want to make sure you are comfortable using the clickers. If you are interested in having a clicker demonstration one evening, please let me know by sending me an email at clerk@townofotisma.com. If there is enough interest an event will be scheduled.
